Merry Christmas!! Christmas has come a couple of days early for those of us who know what this jerk did to the hobby. Thanks for the link Enzo, it made my day and put a smile on my face.

as bitter sweet as it is, I have to grit my teeth and offer sympathy. I don't like seeing anyone get screwed, no matter how much of a grinch they are.. especially after being screwed myself around this time last year. |

I thought that Waynus guy had been refunding money to people who have preordered MM from him?
About a year ago when I was really new to the hobby I remember stumbling on his online order form, $5000 US$. Wasn't there also a plan to do Cactus Canyon? |

Even if he refunds the money, he can use their money as an interest free loan. He can invest it and earn interest. Wayne stinks, period. |

He's also not refunding the money as freely as he used to, apparently. |

Umm, in case anyone isnt aware, interest rates are poo poo.
I think Wayne really wanted to make it happen, and at $5K a throw, probably wouldnt have made much on it either at the volume expected.
Anyway, so long as he refunds all the money, I don't think he deserves to be berated. Maybe I am missing something here. |

Yeah. I guess in some ways it's justifiable to laugh at Wayne. After all he was paying for that container load with money he screwed other people out of. So I guess this is going to equate to another years delay on my NIB CC eh?  |

Exactly. It's not like he just puts people's money into a savings account. He's obviously using it to buy pins in order to sell them at a profit. |
