Actually, the flag should have gone up when the guy insisted on shipping the
thing, since shipping is such a hassle. What he obviously wanted to avoid
wasn't the confrontation, but the potential for a refusal, since nobody
would have bought the mockup for the $200+ price.
I think this fellow has learned a basic lesson at considerable expense.
Perhaps some of the rest of us can learn from this as well.

I'd say its a bit suspect that someone 90 minutes
away would insist on
shipping the thing.. as if they didn't want you to discover the fact that
it
had no mainboard and be able to personally confront
them about it...
Just my 2 cents...
