This next batch isn't sold out because of pre-orders alone (yet). I understand that you may not want to pre-order based on your previous experience with a pre-order with a different company. However, we
are going to be shipping the BM mkIII's soon. We hope to have everything buttoned up by the end of this month. And yes, after the drivers start shipping, the price is going up from the pre-sale price of $220 plus shipping.
PS: I've been absent from all internet correspondence for the past month or so because I've been dealing with parts vendors.
