I don't disagree with the idea in principle. That said...
-I'm not convinced it's worth doing if the comparison is inside a store.
-I'm unaware of a store nearby that would have multiple versions of high end bins.
-I'd be ticked if my new binos arrived with someone else's eyelash grease on them, and consider it unethical if someone sold a returned set as new.
-If the retailer who was kind enough to allow returns and had to resell them at open boxed prices for the sake of someone intending to put them in that situation, that should have their name changed; the Aussies have an affinity for the word that comes to mind.
-In my case, I already know where I'd buy, and returns or multiple purchases simply aren't an option. Of course that by itself doesn't take away from the benefits of a demo, but limits me a bit if the idea is to purchase two and return one. Guess I could buy 2 with the intent of returning both, but I can hear Aussies are clearing their throats just for considering that.
-That marriage statement may be true, but if its supposed to be an analogy to bino purchases its flawed and irrelevant. Other people's reviews of a woman mean they've already decided they could do better or the user wasn't good enough for the product to begin with and their opinion means "white rain."
-In fairness, the analogy is fine if you married the binos identical twin instead, after going back and forth between them for a while. Pics, or it didn't happen.
