I spent a lot of time and effort looking into the above. After finding it i was on the verge of ordering immediately. Only the complexity of the payment methods enforced a delay on me doing this, and thank god it did. This allowed enough time for an obvious thought to make its way from the back of my addled brain to my conscious awareness - that i should check out the vendor first, before ordering !
It would appear this vendor has a few issues on reliabilty front, he had apparently sent out at least 10 samples of his products to potential customers, but 1 month on not one of those people have received them. The vendor is blaming using the cheapest mailing option, and promises that he is now going to start using a more expensive, but faster and more reliable mailing method. So awaiting developments from this before calling SCAM.
(Just to clarify, this post isnt intended as an attack on Robot Ripping, I'm just wanting to say that IMO/E reports of o-dt being around and regularly available remain unproven to this date.)
