Anybody that kicks you out of the room because somebody else wants to get in there doesn't deserve your money. No reason you couldn't listen along with the other prospective customer. If they are interested in a sale, treat you as a sale, today or tomorrow. I've never purchased anything on first pass in my dealer's audio paradise. But over time I have come back time and time again and ultimately spent and continue to spend a boatload of money (for me). It is about relationships, not just sales.
Negotiate good price
I went to a dealer last week and listen to some really sweet pieces. I was ready to throw down some coin but am confused about the dealers approach. He comes in the room and says how is everyhting. I say it is amazing this is just the sound I am looking for. He says okay and leaves. Comes back in 10 minutes and I am ready for hardball. I sit back with my hands above my head in an inviting posture and say- can you beat prices that I see on Audiogon? He says he will be right back- great i think he knows- I know my stuff. Another guy comes in and says he needs to use the room for a client. I say where is the other guy and he says he's on the phone. So I wait in the lobby for 20 minutes and don't see anyone. I left my name on a paper and put it on the desk and ask him to call me with the best he can do on the system because I can buy some of it on AUdiomart. I asked my wife and she thinks that's too hardball- maybe i should have lied and said I'm shopping around for best price.
