I would like to participate in this exchange program of goodwill. I'm interested in auditioning the GS-1000.

Thanks for the offer but to much trouble. Rather just use the online electronic store with free return shipping for 30 days on headphones, speakers, amps, etc.
Yeah, that is kind of abusive to use the return policy to try out stuff. It's like those people buying a camera, making a movie and then returning them... I seem to recall Beasty Boys doing that, or encouraging their fans to do so, can't recall anymore...

I'll take Todd the Vinyl Junkie or Headroom as an example...both are pretty tiny outfits when comparing to major online retailers. These places offer a 30 day money back guarantee on most if not all their headphones. When they "sell" someone an item in their mind they are actually selling the item to the buyer not "loaning them out." Once they are returned and re-shelved they can never be sold again as new headphones. They are now "B stock" and as such these places immediately lose profit. They of course hope that the person won't send them back and in most cases I would assume they don't have to take back stock.
It sickens me when I read people boasting about taking advantage of good people. It takes all kinds I guess
I hope Todd, Tyll and others who run online shoppes catch wind of this thread and blackball headphones from ever buying from their companies.
wow how ethical of you! I hope those places charge a fine restocking fee.
lol I am not going to do that. If I honestly want the headphones I get to maybe keep instead of sending back then I will order them. If not then I won't. I don't plan on using it and if I do only once or twice tops. Not 10 or 20 times like I am sure some people do.
dakkar and Zanth you all both need to think to yourself. Did I say I was going to abuse the retail store? No.
Zanth none of those stores you mention offer free return shipping.
You were the one who brought up the idea here... so its already considered a bad intention.
if you got something to say other than helping Zanth with his loan program, i suggest that you PM him or something, im pretty sure he and many others will appreciate that this thread stays clean.

I really want to try out those GS-1000. I'll just have to wait the next six months patiently until I qualify for the last criteria.
