I feel so depressed now.
I know this whole community seems to be on happy gas 24/7 all bubbly and excited.
But ever since I signed up for this, It has been 100% uphill…
First was the INITIAL PRICE compared to any flimsy but working laser cutter on the market it was more than 10x the price… really you can buy a laser cutter with similar specs (not ease of use) for about €300 on amazon/aliexpress/ebay
Then there was the extra INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING, but I sucked it up, made an investment.
Then there was… There was… there waaaaassss THE WAIT!!!
Oh my God! the wait was excruciating!
Now… The final blow to the balls… IMPORT TAX
No, I take my words back, not just a blow… it’s more of a giant bulldozer at lightning speed smash to the testicles!
… really my expectations is that when I get the GF, their server will go offline and without a possibility to download the software, it will make an Immense paperweight!
… everyone is happy clappy cheerful and excited it seems, because somehow people buying this product seem to have an extra €500 lying around.
What if I don’t? what if I already spent all my money, invested it, waited and bit my nails for a flipping whole year just to hear that I can’t actually afford it in the end, after I already paid for it…
Just kill me!
