@irvinewade: You are right of course that the phone is not there yet - and if I would consider doing such a thing, I would ask the price I had to pay for it - but I can also understand his point of view to a certain extent - he offers a faster delivery against part of the raise in price that happened until today - so he is kind of following the classic supply and demand principle, but nobody is being forced to buy it, so no harm is done.
The point I wanted to make with my probably clumsy religious comparison is that I feel that this is being taken a bit too serious, though. (and he really tried hard to show that he does not want to cheat anybody imho)
… and I think that a “buy/sell corner” could help to stay focused on the future of the phone itself and its ecosystem in this librem 5 category
