Christmas in SW Florida, suggestions:

Please, do not waste the time of any brick and mortar dealer since you will not be buying anything.

He didn't say he wasn't interested in buying anything. Maybe hearing/seeing something new will trigger an unknown desire. I never mind talking to people when they stop in the store. In fact it's fun for me too. It's Christmas time afterall, and if he's been a good boy, maybe he deserves it. I know I do.

No audio dealers to speak of. Some good used record stores. Try our downtown area. Not big but very nice. Never know what you might find

I have been living in the Naples/Ft Myers area for the last few years. Unfortunately, most of the people you meet here will be like Buconero117. I understand his frustration, though. The local Best Buy has hired all of the really knowledgeable people in the area and he can't compete with that level of technical expertise. I would be upset as well. If you don't mind a drive of about 2hrs or so, I can send you to at least 4 stores that are pretty good. (They are all within driving distance from each other so you get to them on 1 trip.) I'll watch this post so if you want the stores info, just post here an I will reply.

I think the OP is looking for something to do besides audio. Maybe a concert or museum....etc.
