This is the way to go. I got burned during the first Hot Toys Dark Knight releases. I paid for Joker during the pre-order period, the company went out of business, and I was SOL. And at the time that was a hell of a lot of money to spend on something. Ever since I've been extremely cautious and never pay up front unless it's absolutely necessary and I have total confidence in a seller with an extensive track record. To Kit's point, I would rather not pay upfront and miss out on a discount than take a risk with something expensive. NRDs I'm ok with.
