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.

You had better choose that first speaker pair wisely or come back later in a
disguise.
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.
He sounds like he should be in the transmission repair industry. What happens if you agree and then discover that you don't like any of the speakers? Does he get to keep your money? I wouldn't be wasting my time with a dealer having that type of sales attitude and I would without question let everyone I knmow to avoid this establishment like the plague.
