Price went up for folks who already preordered ?

There is a shocking surprise...
Never seen that before ...
Sounds reasonable to me...
Of course they are reputable and haven't not come through with their stated projects...so that makes it all right...

I ...of course ...support this project ...since the outcome is to be desired devices ....albiet so few that support is likely to be nonexistent ...
All that aside...
I think the price (and it may not be the end of price increases yet...) is completely inline with the situation...
And support the price increase absolutely and without hesitation ...

Of course...
I anticipated such price increase...if one wanted what one had already dumped a chunk of money into...
And that ..along with other reasons...
is also why I refused to invest a penny in it.
Once burned , twice shy.

Start ups are unregulated, ungoverned, with no accountability,
a wild wild west snake oil salesman mentality ...
That I refuse to partake in.

Make a product, like everyone else, allow it to be reviewed and tested by a reputable nonaffiliated 3rd party, have a support and parts guarantee, and be on the shelf for sale at a price that isn't flucuating all over the place...
Lile ALL other products for sale...
that ARE regulated and are bound by laws...to protect the consumer...
And I will gladly and happily throw my coin down and buy one, thereby supporting a project.

It is not all vitriol out of me...
There are glad tidings...
Meateo Ballons are now on sale at 1/2 the price of the previous double the cost sale....
Meaning...
Get your Meateo Ballons now!
At a limited time offer of ...
regular price!!!

Just inquire at the Meateo Ballon Emporium's front desk ...
And ask for Dave...

Long live the Dave's!!!!!
