Would you pay to audition speakers


A dealer told me that he will let people audition 1 pair of speakers for free. If you want to hear multiply speakers
he charges 500.00. If you buy a pair of speakers he will credit you back the 500.00. He says he does this so people don't waste his time. He says If someone is serious about purchasing speakers they won't have a problem with the 500.00 deposit. I'm Interested in knowing how the Audiogon community feels about this.

Maybe thats the only way,he can get rid of you.Sometimes
salesman and dealers if you dont drive nice cars,they
wont entertain you at all,I have experience that many
times before,I cant imagine paying $500 just to audition.
TVAD is right,here in ILLINOIS many audiostore are now
out of business because they dont know ,what good costumer
service.
Arbuckle you have a point.Some will take advantage of the
audition right,knowing they will not buy,thats wrong.When
I go to the store,I just look around,if the salesman ask
me to listen to their new speakers,then I will,most of the
time I offer them lunch though but to pay them even 50 dollars,thats to stiff.
