"Commodore USA has my money, I have no computer"

I don't think they sold enough for that. Not judging by the tiny number of people on their own official forum.

Until we see real sales figures instead if one's that are made up, I'm suspecting they sold well under a thousand.

And by the. way, this is far from the first time I've read about this happening. Such a shame to see this done to such an iconic name....

The question is will he still be thrilled with it when the novelty factor wears off?

I'm not really clear on the purpose of this thread other than to create seasoned panic against C=USA.
 
Just because some customers order hasn't been fulfilled doesn't mean there are major problems with the company.
 
There seems to be people actively willing the company to fail and that seems unhelpful to put it mildly.

Let's not forget here that C=USA are basically representing us Amiga users - like it or not, people outside this community will tar us with the same brush as the C=USA people. So if C=USA rip people off, then it makes the real Amigas (whatever they may be) look bad.

Yes their prices are high but it seems they are targetting a specific market; producing in low quantity will always result in high prices whatever the commodity.

But that's not their target. According to them they're aiming at very high quantities (and high prices).

As for why not more people are complaining - that's easy. It's not because other people didn't get what they paid for, it's because hardly anyone stumped up the cash in the first place!

There's a massive difference between spending  $1500 on a bog standard PC in a pretty case (and not receiving it, it seems) and spending $3000 on low-volume custom hardware.

We know you don't like the X1000 - but calling people stupid just because their priorities are different to yours? Come on.

The X1000 is to some people worth the money. It's not to you, so don't buy it, that's fine. But please appreciate that other people have different priorities - calling them stupid is not the way.

Thank you for letting us all know. Although many of us deeply mistrust the current owners of the Commodore name, it's good to hear both sides of the story, the bad and the good. Pleased for the original poster. (merry xmas!)

I think that most of the haters would love to be proved wrong actually. But then they're not really haters, they're just people who distrust C=USA.

Not all, of course. Some people just love to hate. As far as I can see though, C=USA are the owners of the Commodore name whether we like it or not, so if they turn out to be the real deal and able to deliver more than just promises and a fancy case for a PC, then I for one will be very happy.
