You might want to check out the issues with one of the vendors listed in your directory. Polartype (nee Kumamech) has apparently imploded leaving a lot of Group Buy’s in the lurch. Sam, the person running Polartype, has yet again taken the site down again after a recent mea culpa to make things better. Even though absolutely nothing changed after this announcement.

Full disclosure: I’m part of the group buy through them for the “Coldtop Topre” deskmats. Something I can no longer charge back for and am unlikely to receive.

What a moose knuckle. I added the :warning: to PolarType’s shop listing just in case.
