So Abe & mbnx01 you two honestly believe a dealer should risk allowing you borrow a pair of $25K speakers to try at your home out of the goodness of his heart, while trusting that you won't damage them ---{accidents DO happen}--- and if you should damage them the dealer should also trust you'll be a straight up gentleman, man-up and either buy them outright damaged or else you'll pay to have them repaired?
If I was a dealer I'd want to be able to place a hold on your credit card equal to exactly 1/2 of what the agreed selling price is on any piece of audio equipment I lent out that was valued over $1000 ---{which I presume would cover what I paid for them as a dealer, so I wouldn't be out $$$$ in case an accident did happen}--- but once the speakers ---{or other audio components}--- were returned to me on time and in the exact same shape I lent them to you, I'd remove the hold from your credit card if you didn't want them & I'd thank you graciously for taking the time to audition them and visiting my store. In the event that you wanted the speakers I'd add the remaining balance to the previous hold amount, charge the credit card, thank you graciously for your business and ask you if I could be of any possible assistance in helping you setting the speakers up properly in your home.
My stance would be this: Since I lent you my store demo model, I risked losing potential sales for the 3, 5 or 7 days you wanted to try these $25K speakers in your home, on your audio system, in your audio room. However I believe in good customer relations and try to do what I can for my customers. That said, I am running a business and it does need to generate income and not lose $$$$ in the process. I'd even consider what I'm doing for YOU to be damn generous on my part. So "if" you as a buyer still had a issue with my policies, and felt I was unfair or screwing you over, by placing just a hold on your credit card. I'd smile, shake your hand and my response would be... 'PLEASE GO FUCK YOURSELF'.
