I had a similar deal offered when I wanted to audition an early Sony SACD player. I asked a local Sony dealer to hear it. They said that if I first coughed up 3500 I could hear it I could do so in the comfort of my home. Had I not liked it there would have, as I am sure there would be for bouncy ball in his case, a nominal restock fee, of which is often 10 to 15%. Hmm I thought, that's 350 + minimum charge for MY risk. I ended up buying it on line for 1725 shipped. Sorry, but the dealer would have made 1700 + bucks for doing nothing more than ordering the box for me and providing me with the same terms and conditions I got on line. Sorry but bouncy should say the heck with the dealer and get a good deal on line.
