Maybe Piers Morgan would do it but where did it go wrong, why did you not call time sooner etc could all be explored? Just a thought and probably an unwelcome one- sorry!

He would have had something to say about covid, but it would be something that he hoped he could tell us in a couple of weeks via a grand announcement. There would also be some inside information that he knew about covid but wanted to keep under his hat to protect his source 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 On 14/06/2020 at 22:37, Willie Whizz said: Recent posts again illustrate the blurring between 'crowdfunding' and 'deposits'. Not least in Dave Jones's mind, but also in the minds of many prospective purchasers who believed at the outset they were just putting down a deposit to secure one of a limited number of a specific variant of a model that was going to be produced anyway, rather than - in effect - "investing" in the business with the particular model as your "return". This is something people need to be very wary of in future - especially if the description changes part-way through the process. If it's crowdfunding, it should clearly say so at the very outset; if it changes part-way through, ask for your money back while you still can. I don't think there was any 'blurring'. I remembered something in the 92 thread, and have found this which I think is what stayed in my mind. - - - - On 13/08/2016 at 22:48, James Makin said: Hi Dave, Forgive me if it's a silly question - is the money invested at stages 1 and 2 protected and repayable should the worst happen and the model doesn't make it to stage 3 please? I saw your note about the credit card insurance but wondered aside from individuals chasing Visa/MC/Amex etc if there was a crowdfunding safeguard that automatically pays out if the project gets cancelled further down the line? Many thanks! James Hi James, Whether you are kick starting or crowdfunding, once the money is spent, it's spent! The company or individual can, however, try to mitigate against subsequent customer loss, but I would imagine it would be difficult as the funds are used for paying various stages of development of said project. What I'm doing is only taking credit card payments as that protects you, plus only asking for smaller 'chunks' of monies to fund these projects in 3 stages. Hope this helps? Cheers Dave - - - - To my mind there are no illusions as to how DJM saw the instalments in this instance. You were not paying a returnable deposit, you were in effect paying for all the design and development costs upfront. I am wondering how many people actually realised this, or understood the implications? Using payment by credit card as the only form of insurance does seem rather unprofessional. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided the factory don't let him down and there's a ship available because shipping has been very difficult recently (despite the considerable surplus container shifting capacity between China and Europe) andoif course the exchange rate has changed so I'll need an extra tenner on top of what you've already paid.

Some of the jokes are on par with those on the jokes thread, but this thread does also contain useful information such as that only posted yesterday by Jonny777. And there is a sensible discussion about the differences between 'refundable deposits' and 'crowdfunding stage payments/contributions'. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted July 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Everyone here is free to, (has an obligation, right, duty to), bring to the attention of the Moderators any rude, offensive and/or libelous material. The problem is, everyone has different levels, (or tolerances of), of what rude, offensive and/or libelous material actually is. I guess Phil is just saying what he thinks is right - just like the rest of us do on occasion. There is no way I am going to defend anything DJM did but there were times when I was concerned for his mental well being. Other than that proviso, I think he deserves everything that's been thrown at him (metaphysically speaking). Kev. (Edit to change the name to Phil.)

I didn't say or imply anything was right or wrong just that I find the 'jokes' on a par with others elsewhere and that I consider some of the posts interesting and informative. That is not to assert or think what I say is right but is rather how I feel about those things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
