I would not judge the choices of each one, especially since it depends for many on the material conditions (which could have deteriorated in these times of crisis).
I’m lucky enough not to absolutely need the money right away, but I’d still be more comfortable not waiting to ask for an official refund.
If it would help someone to get a Librem 5 sooner, so much the better.
If someone wants to offer their pre-order for sale at a higher or lower price, I won’t judge that decision.
Yes, but on the other hand, inflation is calculated on an arbitrary selection of products at a given location. Individually, you can experience inflation much more or much less than the official indicator.
However, we are not talking about a necessity product here but rather a bet on what will be a future comfort product.
Therefore, a price increase can be justified as well as criticized on this basis. It all depends on one’s moral frame of reference.
