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


I plan on buying a McIntosh system C12000 and 2 MC611 monoblocks in a about 3 months from this Stereo shop I have chosen. I’ve been to the store about 4 times over the past year and half to listen to various components trying diff equipment.

My question, is, what would be considered visiting the store to much before I buy a system? I plan on spending over 20k but I didn’t know what is proper etiquette.

There are plenty of people that have no intention of buying and these people don't care how much of your time they consume. 

"Knob twisters"

"Tire kickers"

"Gear gawkers"

"Lookie-Loos"

Good sales people know who you are and see you coming. Don't be surprised when they don't return your calls. It's YOU who is the problem not them.

 

I always bring cookies for the crew....each time.  Or something.  It should be a bit social.  The exchange meant to be enjoyed, not endured.  I've even taken microbrew.  But then, that's just me.  Cheers

Are they opening the doors just for you or is it normal business hours and they are sitting there whether you visit or not?

If the latter then don't worry about it.

If you chew your gum loudly, just once. If you eat your noodles with your mouth open, you will get kicked out right away.
