From that Analogman pedal people wait years for to Cirklons, people seem to be pretty chill when they get to put their name on an orderly list.

Lists are a logistical nightmare. They take a massive amount of time to deal with because you have to track people down to get payment when you're ready to ship which can take days of work just sitting at a computer sending emails. You end up with a bunch of people no-showing for their slot after you give them 24 hours or whatever to pay. If you take deposits you end up with a ton of people wanting refunds at some point or moving so their address is wrong and they dont let you know. It also puts a lot more pressure on the builder if they have peoples money already when they might not deliver a pedal for months or a year depending on how many people preorder. Lists also balloon up to years of wait really quickly because tons of people throw their name in the hat and then lose interest a month later. The big drop most builders use works because they can just build pedals and then sell them in a cycle without all the administrative mess of trying to maintain an orderly queue. Its much better for the builder to do less admin stuff and more pedal building when possible.
