Correct.

What is the legal definition of "reasonable amount of time" though?
1 month? 6 months? 18 months?

You shouldn't state with such certainty that the contract would be voided and the restocking fee turned over in court. It's a very grey area.

There would be 1 of 2 conclusions. Either it would be thrown out or GTM would talk their way into a specific performance date, which would be just as good for most people who still want the kit.

*edit* - what would really happen is GTM would not show up to the small claims court date over $4xx.xx and there would be a default judgment.

And then good luck getting anything out of them once you have taken them to court! Once it becomes personal, there is never a win/win outcome.

Business is SO much easier when everybody just does the right thing and everyone stays civil. Unfortunately these days not many deals can be done with a handshake any more. Everyone takes things personally and the "screw them before they screw us" mentality takes over.

Edit: This is not in reference to the situation at hand, just a casual observation.
