Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store


.
I am currently pretty satisfied with my system the way it is right now. I am not in the market for any new purchases right now, mainly because I don't have the discretionary income to make big changes. However, sometimes I get the urge to want to go into a hifi store just to look. Eventually I will upgrade my speakers, cd player, preamp, a new dac for sure and may give class D amps a shot...but not right now.

Is it cool to go into a store just to look around, knowing you don't have the money or immediate need for an item?

Roxy54 has gone too far.

If am not mistaken, dealers generally make 100% profit on new gears (e.g manufacturers sells a gear to dealer for $1000 which then retails for $2000).

If a dealer expects each and every person entering his shop to buy a gear from him then the dealer will quickly make billions and his sales persons millions.

The 100% profit given by the manufacturers is meant to be spent on attracting potential customers by arousing their curiosity, fueling their interests, assisting them making the right choice, and helping them overall.

This is called marketing.
