I'd like to vote to close the auction now. 1) its not an auction, 2) we need to verify of those first 50 who is actually going to pay, 3) we have plenty lined up for unofficial and unknown preorders, of which plenty more will not pay. We risk turning this into a farce if we're not careful.

Pretty simple to me.  Bid and don't pay, be dealt with like any other auction bidder that doesn't pay.  I believe that earns you a scammer tag if I'm not mistaken.

Either more than 50 units will be available, or not.  You're bidding on your place in a (possible) line, and just like any other auction you have no idea if you won until the auction closes.

Very damned simple - don't bid unless you are prepared to take delivery.  Why is this confusing?


Because there is no way to verify who is following the rules until after everything has closed and things break.

People get spoilt. They have the opportunity to bid at a fixed price, and now they also want their unit guaranteed quick.

Some are being allowed to retract their bids, which isn't a given.

They should make their mind or earn a scammer tag. There is plenty of demand.

John, I would like to retract my bid (1) for the time being due to lack of confirmation in line with rudrigorc2's retraction.

Many Thanks

fwiw I consider my bid binding, until the scheduled auction end time.

Yes, it was never really made clear if these "hopeful" bids are binding or not. If not, the entire thing is a bit meaningless.

The problem with this now is I'm pretty sure a good chunk of these bids can't be backed up.
