Lol, that's more like wishful thinking than testing.Lots of folks on NES are doing exactly that with the $300 Scherer Glock longsticks - that ad has been bumped for over 5 months now with no takers, but it's no reason to dislike the prospective seller who is testing the market.
Then again, someone eventually bought the Florbert Parlor Rifle, too... so there is that.
