Ah, cultural differences and all that! In this corner of the world most
shops let you see it before you buy it. And why? Well, because they want
to sell! Recently, some bigger companies started adopting the American
way, but I'm guessing they don't sell that much, at least this kind of
item. On a buy-and-trust basis, they might be able to sell a large
panoramical LCD monitor to some clueless executive, but our
run-of-the-mill client wouldn't fall for it.
