Exactly. I was willing to pay more in order to touch and test the product, rather than ordering it sight unseen. That requires stock though. I understand that carrying stock is a big expense but on one occasion I wanted a set of heavy weight KTM bar end weights, for alloy bars, that are a standard item (this shop was a KTM dealer). They had a box for a pair that only had one weight in it, so I had to wait 3 weeks for mine to come in.
