I don't know...I read constantly that his product is top notch and it looks good and the price is unbeaten to this point. What's not to love about that?
His business model on the other hand does suck. I still like to think it's simply that Dan got in WAY over his head and he's working hard to get his head above water. Perhaps he isn't going about that in the best way, but hopefully he's at least trying. I read most of this thread and I see that people are getting parts they ordered even if way, way later than anticipated. That's the only reason I decided to order from him regardless...but I went in knowing full well that the wait is likely to be very long. Since I know that, and I don't need his part next week or even next month, I'm ok with this. I just really wish Dan would take some time and really address the issue of what's going on. I am pretty sure that if he would take a little time to post up even once a week he could keep people in the loop and it would prevent a lot of the disdain that has formed over these issues. I do agree with rydbyk that the way customers do seem to be treated is pretty sht poor and in today's business environment, that's a sure way to loose your business. It's just a matter of time (hopefully) before someone comes out with a product that rivals HBC in all the qualities that make the HBC stuff desirable...but with a better business end to match.
