Fee for home audition

I am in the market for a music server/streamer. I was discussing with one of the authorized dealers for a streamer. He had a demo unit and was willing to bring to my home for an hour and let me try. He is located around 10-15 minutes from my home. He wants to charge 5% for home demo. Is this the industry standard? I am not meaning to disparage anyone so not going to name the dealer. I am just trying to see what the standard practice is.

I think it makes sense that the dealer does not want to "loan" you the unit, even with CC hold.

The problem is that you could damage the unit, possibly not even realizing it.  Or realizing it but then not wanting to buy the unit.

The headaches would be huge either way for the dealer.

Buy from Amazon and don't deal with all this nonsense...
