Why should customers have to provide financing? If it's so small run it can be financed post-hoc by a few customer orders, then it's small enough that it can be financed by a few friends, too.

- kscaldef 16y agoWhen something is being custom-made for you, it's entirely normal to pay at least part of the total up front. I could just as well ask you, why should friends have to provide financing, as you seem to suggest should be the norm?
