Wouldn’t touch a site like that with a very long barge pole.

There are no contact details anywhere. The whole thing looks like a scam.

Even the business name is strange.

Why do I have to go off site to get help? Why a community? Why a third party contact form?

Are you seriously expecting me to pay for a product when there is no guarantee it will ever turn up.

It’s a big nope from me

I don’t think you will get people to submit payment details without knowing whether an order is going to be fulfilled.

If I want a new TV, I don’t want to authorise a payment to you and then have to wait to see if I am actually going to get one.

I’d have a serious rethink about your proposition...

Agree with above, it looks like a scam. I see ideas like this from web designers on a regular basis, they think just because they can build the site, they can make it into a business. From a marketing perspective it's fundamentally flawed.

Cannot see anything there that would cause me to order.
If I want something I can order elsewhere and get delivery in a few days. Without the risks the site appears to accept.
The idea of doing a chargeback to recover my money? Laughable.

I get what you're doing. Seen a few startups get funded for a very similar concept in the USA. If executed properly it can work very very well.

Problem is the name sucks and so does the website.

It's a bit of a catch22 in the sense you want people to authorise payment in the hope that if you sell the allocated lots you can just charge their card and ship it out, problem is there is no idea when and if you will sell the allocated lots.

Yes out of interest why that domain name?
