Well, that's my point: I want that product on the market because I want to own it. So why would I donate first and then pay up again to buy it? I want to shell out money now, get the product in return at some point and run the risk of the whole transaction failing since the product cannot be produced at a reasonable price (at least not by that company). If that happens, I'm down the money I paid, that's my risk.
