As far as I can see no update... I guess I can call it a loss and stop thinking about it...
It's always hard to make the decision to join a GB, on one hand a greenhorn comes and presents a cool product, you say "hell I'm not going to miss out on this", on the other hand you must think "this guy has no experience, no history, can I trust him with my money?" ... It's always a gamble...
In my opinion one should never dare to start any big GB before they made a test small scale one, to see what are the implications:packing orders, shipping, dealing with missing/defective parts. When you jump on a big endeavour like this GB with ZERO experience **** will definitely happen.
What amazes me is that people are already at peace with their loss, "well it's only a couple of bucks..." attitude.
