Subject: About to Power Up: Give 'em the money first?

Just as a sanity check... I'm about to "Power Up" from my Amiga 1000
to an Amiga 3000-25/50 and the dealer wants all the money up front,
even though he estimates that I won't receive the machine until mid
July.

Is this standard?  If Commodore requires him to send the money in with
the order, then I understand.  Even if they don't, he incurs some risk
that I might not take delivery (for the sake of discussion, I have no
such intention), but in such a case perhaps Commodore would then allow
him to return the machine, reducing his risk (and increasing
Commodore's).

Also, is this delivery time realistic?  What's the current backlog?

Please respond via email, as I must get him a check ASAP.  I'll
summarize if interest dictates.

"What, no extension on the Power Up Deal?" - quote heard in a dream.
