I have his VAT number and can confirm it is valid.
I am happy that Andy has taken on board all the points raised. My main concern was him offering a device without knowing exactly when he could get stock or when he could meet orders. This was mainly down to enthusiasm and not a deliberate attempt to disappoint anyone. He is going to take a look at his terms and conditions regarding warranty. I think he intended to make it clear it might be quicker to contact the manufacturer and to not simply wash his hands of any issues.
Some people assumed he we claiming to have secured stock when we all knew there were no official resellers at this stage. Once stock is flowing anyone is free to resell. It will probably be encouraged.
I would have posted this on the R-PI forum but they closed the thread.
