Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component?


I’m a bit new at this hobby, so am wondering if the option to return a purchase within a short period of time is accepted practice or just naive?

I just opted out of a potential sale of a 15+ year old component @ $3,000+ because the seller would only sell ‘as is’ with no option to send back if I felt the item did not appear as described. 

Is it acceptable practice for Audiogon sales to ask the seller for this option, or maybe ask only if the seller is a dealer?

+1 @chayro TMR tip top to trade with. No caveat emptor w/ them.

So @djb2573 if you’re hesitant don’t buy. PM me please for a special on a bridge in Brooklyn. NOT!

On Agon you see if they are a Verified Dealer and see their recent and lifetime feed back ratings. There are many 100% folks. This ain’t ebay.

If possible get to know your seller. I have had several pleasant back and forth messages when making a purchase on Agon. Some now a cyber pen pals. One guy came to my house! Great fun. Here there are many "birds of a feather."
