while i do appreciate that they didn't take a deposit at this point i will be living abroad when the barrel is complete and will not be able to even touch it for 2+ years so why bother...

Here's a thought. They seem to be producing the barrels that have the most demand. They don't require any money, until your barrel is complete.

Place 100 orders for the exact barrel you want over the next week. All from different email accounts.

This isn't exactly ethical and I'm saying it in jest, of course. However, I'm a believer in you get what you ask for, and they've set up a system that is ripe for such an incident. It's like giving politicians a blank check and expecting them to spend our money wisely. Ultimately it's our fault when they run 17 trillion in debt and keep on spending.
