AFAIK, one issue is that we can't really promise a precise fulfillment date beyond a certain number of units, and if we make a pre-order the size of a sales batch, the *pre-order* will sell out instead.

We had a notification sent out via Shopify's system for this batch. Also, it's not that it's impossible to do deposits, even EU companies do deposit-based preorders, it's just a major headache.

(To be fair, the current system doesn't leave out scalpers either, barring the fact they stay in stock for far too short to actually get a bot working... so we've gotten lucky thus far.)

We have that on our list of ideas, but without deposits, how do you prevent scalpers from filling up the queue? We have some ideas, but none of them seem to lead to a situation where some users aren't left out.
