As well, "if you don't buy it, someone else will." How is that a factor when the shop is having to order the bikes anyway? If I buy it, isn't that one more person buying a bike? I really am asking - not being snarky.
Because the shop doesn't lose anything from the sale to merchant fees from the credit card companies and the money is immediately in their possession.
