Well, they are very expensive and have a limited number of potential customers so bringing one in for show and tell is not always a wise business decision. You have both furthered and exemplified that point with your pricing comments, which are unfair to the dealers. You must understand that these products are not "overpriced", they are frankly just expensive. If they were indeed "overpriced", then the dealers would gleefully bring them in by the truckloads. They simply cannot afford to do that, not even a single piece.Your "old fashioned" dealer is likely one to respect and one to support. He is still there and still bringing nice products to your community. Keep calling them "overpriced" and "old fashioned" or whatever and shopping on-line. Very soon, they will either also stop carrying any demos or pull out of town entirely. Then you will not have any place to see or hear any nice products. It is the paying customer who supports his local dealers that permits those same dealers to offer excellent demos and service. I think people are finally begining to realize that as the internet has aged and the once new frontier has destroyed some of the older, more friendly and reliable ones. Certainly not all dealers are polite, helpful, or whatnot but they are just people like you and I'd be willing to bet they their behavior is learned. If you were to support them by buying products after using their showrooms, they would probably be much more receptive to supplying top quality service and yes, even better pricing. That's the way that it works here anyway.
