Yes ! I would not pay a dime for restocking fee.To me these companies are just shooting themselves in the foot. I realize that this stuff cost good money,but you have to realize most of this stuff is already marked up 300% anyway.To me they should designate a small % of peices for demo and have a waiting list for demo..Most people will not pay 20% to listen to something that more than likely isn't better than anything else. The real issue is that there realy isn't that many peices out there that are head and shoulders above anything else and companies rely on "hype" to get people to get excited about a product and almost feel they have to have that product and get caught up in the foolishness we all create..
restocking fees
More high end manufacturers are selling direct and offering home auditions, and many are charging restocking fees of up to 20%. I absolutely respect the right of any manufacturer to charge whatever he sees fit. It's expensive to have product in the field, and companies want to discourage tire kickers, but I see no reason to risk paying a restocking fee when the market offers me so many other choices. Do restocking fees discourage you from trying a product, or is the risk worth taking.
