Pre-orders are risky business. The odds are against it working out. For every KNC you have , I dunno, about 5 companies that don't deliver, and 3 companies that under-deliver, and 2 companies that are super-late, like Avalon.
The irony of that statement is that KNC customers only made profits if they paid in fiat. The majority of Avalon customers at least made some profit (but the last batch of them got royally screwed).
