How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase

It’s a business for the dealer and “Time is money” for the dealer .Why the confusion? Just fess up now, that it’s on your near future planned purchase; but you simply don’t have the necessary scratch right now. He will appreciate the candor,

otherwise the dealer might get “the wrong end of the stick” about you hanging around after 18 months of audition and indecision time, You’ve already had a full four auditions to date which can be interpreted as not insignificant if you are not yet a current customer with a history. Otherwise, it might impair development of a mutual business relationship.

If you are firmly and truly committed to a purchase in a scant 3 month time, you can initiate mutual benefit by considering putting down say… a 25% deposit now ..on a layaway plan that also secures today’s pricepoint for you as a hedge against the likely near-term price hikes.

Agree with jond. And four times in a year and a half is perfectly fine, anyway.

PLEASE,as much as your going to spend & as easy as it is to buy online(even Mac)they should put a cot in the back for you!

Go as often as you want.  Maybe don’t waste their time auditioning equipment you never intend to buy, but don’t feel guilty about making sure that you’ll be happy with a future purchase. If they get annoyed with a future customer, I would be concerned with how they would act if you purchase the equipment and then have a problem with it. . . . .

I think that is up to the store / salesman more than you.  Some buyers take more visits than others.  I was seriously inquiring at a well know store in Delaware when the salesman decided to stop returning my calls.  I moved on and bought my dream system elsewhere.  I thank him for that!
