How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase
I plan on buying a McIntosh system C12000 and 2 MC611 monoblocks in a about 3 months from this Stereo shop I have chosen. I’ve been to the store about 4 times over the past year and half to listen to various components trying diff equipment.
My question, is, what would be considered visiting the store to much before I buy a system? I plan on spending over 20k but I didn’t know what is proper etiquette.

I operate a business that has an average $20k unit price tag, so I feel a little bit of confidence in saying that I would be very happy spending time with a customer that brings me anywhere near $5k in retail sales for each trip in the door - Please don’t let the current value that our sales people seem to think they are entitled to deter you from the task at-hand - Our customers average 8-10 trips into the store before they pull the trigger - and the better we send the message that we value them as a family member, the greater the odds that you will continue to spend your Audio dollars there - Keep letting them know you value their assistance in making your SIGNIFICANT monetary decision - Remember, this isn’t like buying a set of tires, high end audio equipment is like buying an Indian Motorcycle - It’s a Lifestyle purchase !! They should offer you your own dedicated theater seat during your process !!! |
Build a close customer/salesperson relationship and they won't care how often you go back. I had this in my dealer decades ago (back when customer service wasn't an exception). and was allowed to listen to systems & components costing two to four times what I had bought from them. Not only did it validate my home system, but it allowed me critical listening time to see upgrade paths. I have recommended this store to many other people which has probably "paid" for my extra visits ten time over. |
