Each product took at least 50 prepaid

Just to be 100% correct, the R&P gears were a 50 person deposit arrangement. The front ARB was the same deal. But, the TC gears were not. Tera produced and then sold them at an initial reduced price ($600, $575?) when they were ready.

Personally, I am grateful for Tera stepping up to the plate for this. It is a tough decision to make and I only hope that they did not "lose" money on this and these products just did not meet the turn-over and performance of their other products.

If anybody is seriously interested, contact Tera. Talk to Mark and see if a) the plans/drawings are not being destroyed and b) if in the future if there were 50(or whatever #) pre-paid orders, would they consider doing another run? You don't have to promise that now (I don't think it would happen now), but put the bug in his ear and hopeful it would keep the door open for the future.
