You've all quite happily benefited from online discounts for a while now... But now you are beginning to see the Dark Side. Now that online retailers have all but shut down brick and mortar store, and many of them refuse to carry TOTL and even MOTL arrangers, as being far too 'niche' a market, the ONLY way you can even try things like PA2Xpro's and E60's etc. is to actually buy them, then return them and pay your restocking fee as a 'demo fee'.

So it is hardly surprising to see lots of opened and B-stock items available...

Support your local store, quit using online retailers to save yourself just a few bucks, and perhaps things will change for the better. Otherwise, better get used to this..
