Yes, but the previous vendor was someone who did group buys for over a year in the manner I previously described without anyone saying no.
So to the average forum person, it seems like this vendor was completely legit. And frankly, he was.
Minus the parts where:
- People were unaware of this being a "100% prepaid group buy then make product" promotion
- Seller was bad at communication in general
- Seller mixed up group buy orders with website orders
- Products listed for sale on his website, but not in stock
- Whatever other dirty laundry being aired in the feedback threads
Could've just prevented this from the get-go by prohibiting a 100% prepaid, preorder group buy where the products have yet to be produced.
But I'm just suggesting this as ways to improve the site. Ultimately if the site admin don't care, this will just repeat itself in the future with the next "reputable" vendor.
