Title: Don't Buy Any Miners and Asic Chips with No Guarantee of Delivery and Money Back
Post by: eve on August 09, 2013, 03:12:29 PM
Please Don't Buy Any Bitcoin Asic Miners without any Guarantee of Delivery Time and without Money Back Guarantee Protection. Don't Buy them when Bitcoin is the only payment available!! They must accept Paypal and Visa, Mastercard, Discovery Card and American Express!!

Yes. and these people deserve to lose every cent they invest.

The OP is correct, if there is no guarantee of delivery, or discount comparable to difficulty increase when the delivery is late, then there is no point in placing the (pre)order.

It is just throwing money away.

I learned my lesson in 1998 when I pre-ordered Duke Nukem Forever.
Since that time I don't buy anything unless I know it is in stock and going to be sent right away.

You must ring your card issuing bank and check your purchase is covered with payment protection. Different banks and difference countries abide by different regulations and payment cover.
