Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ?

Yes, you do, or you wouldn’t have said it.

It’s theft. And not the cool kind of theft that comes from desperation and need of basic necessities like food, shelter and clothing. It’s the narcissistic type of theft that comes from a lack of a moral compass.

And interestingly, I can’t stand dealers and find them to be the dial telephones of the new century. But I would never use one for showrooming.

" moral compass" is an outdated concept. It has never been particularly popular, besides, it can be interpreted very differently. 

Anyway, "moral compass" is directly connected to some authority. There is no more authority to which it could be connected. We are lost sheep longing to be found.

What business are you in?  What do you provide for free?  How do you earn your money?  I want to come buy and waste your time so that I can take your advice and then find a better deal somewhere else.  Can't wait until no dealers are left and you have to buy something new direct or used.  Maybe used with no opportunity for repair, how does that sound?
