The new "rip-off" scam??

But my question is whether there's a way to prepay that won't leave you holding the bag if the company never comes through with the goods?

Actually people do it all the time when they buy houses and really expensive cars. You are essentially using a "middle man". The call it escrow

If the vendor is willing to use an escrow service, I guess that would be an option. They might not agree to it, though, since one of the purposes for an up-front deposit is to provide the seller with working funds to buy materials to make your product, pay subcontractors, etc. They're not going to be able to do that if the deposit is tied up in escrow.
