Never!!!!!!!
Back in the hey-day of stereo flying off the shelves (the 1970s and into the 80s), I worked at three hifi stores and two sound contractors. Sure, it was fun to listen to stuff and go to CES, but ordering product, paying invoices, getting the advertising handled, doing payroll, inventory, sales taxes, and all that other stuff never appealed to me. I MUCH preferred being on the sales/display setup/installation/training side of things.
One sound contractor liked to dabble in hifi, so he'd order this-or-that and always have a small selection of good stuff in "the shop". He'd get a couple AccuTrac or Lenco turntables, E-V Sentry III or Frazier speakers, a few Kenwood or Phase Linear amps, an occasional reel-to-reel, etc. We'd meet there after dinner and hook stuff up different ways and listen to Pink Floyd and EL&P. Those were the days! His mother handled all the invoicing, paying and taxes - their dining table was always FULL of paperwork.
