Saint: Thanks for your clear words. If you thought so, I was never saying you're not entitled to an opinion, quite the other way around actually :)

David, thanks for your reply. I think/hope I was respectful to you, even though I did mention some serious things. Anyway, as I said before I'm always willing to give anyone my trust. Luckily, the world is still so that I've never had any serious problems with that, as long as I use my common sense. However, from the things I mentioned I got an uneasy feeling to order with you. I think other people may have the same feeling. It would be wise to see this as feedback and learn from it. It harms your business. The fact that it's not your full-time business doesn't make a difference. A promise is still a promise
When I agree something with a friend, I expect him to keep his promise, even though it's not his "main business".

Building trust takes a long time, it ca be ruined within seconds.

IMHO it might be better to focus on one or two projects, finish them and then make the next step. But I don't have the complete picture.

Fact is, you've already made some quality products I know that. I strongly hope the yoke will become what it was ment to be !

I will examine my SW yoke next weekend and PM you.

:cheers: :applaud: to David, as well as saint, kaytrim and others who are showing faith in David and his projects. Also  :cheers: to those who remain skeptical, but are respectful.

As saint points out, RealLife(tm) tends to intervene (heck, it took me months to ship out a board for a member here because I just kept forgetting about it). David has made a real effort to keep people informed and has delivered in the past. Apparently, he also tries to make things right when things go awry.

Now, if only I had a StarWars or MajorHavoc project ... and, yep, part of my confidence in the projects is a gut feeling about David.

:cheers:

Now please, before you post a witty, response, think about the situation. We are all here for the same reason. I am not trying to score points or climb the alpha tree – I have plenty of experience in business, and this guy has not produced the goods. People have paid hundreds of £ and $ for nothing.

Maybe I was a little out of line with my original post, but I think it was worth it based on the discussion that came out of it.  You have to realize that many of us have dealt with actual hard-core scammers on the internet, and in some cases on this forum specifically - search for "harpal" (it's a username) and you will see why I tend to give someone like David the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks, wish I had more time to work on it!

Agent Davis:

FWIW, I think it's great that people are willing to take on such enormous projects.  This isn't a cheap undertaking, and I'm sure pre-orders have helped offset a lot of the major expenses involved.  Those who pre-ordered have all been offered refunds for the delays.  Keep up the good work and most of us are all looking for a great finished product.

Breaker:

Hello all,

As a member of the new dirty dozen (lol - good one Havok) I too understood that pre-orders always have an element of risk, however, before ordering, I exchanged several emails with David and found him to be open and honest in every regard.  As Saint aluded to, it was on the merit of these communications (and the posts on this forum which spoke to the extremely high quality of his Major Havoc spinner and Atari cone buttons) that I felt confident in placing a pre-order.

That said, I have sent David a few messages over the past six months requesting updates on the SWY project, and in each case he has been timely and courteous in his responses. Yes, the project has had delays, but that's bound to happen when one takes on a project to completely remanufacture a controller like the Star Wars Yoke (and as noted, David has on many occasions offered to refund any pre-orders upon request). True, some of us have been stung by other vendors, but we shouldn't allow those experiences to influence our judgement in this case. David has acted politely and professionally in all his posts to the board (despite the slings and arrows sent his way) and that says a great deal in my book. Let's be patient folks, and support our vendors, we'll all reap the benefits in the end. 

Cheers,
Breaker.
