Sure, I'd love to find a LBS that will let me take their product, install it on my (older, also bought used) bike, ride it for a while, and then if I don't like it take it back? I suppose I could do that with Performance Bike, but that just doesn't seem right to buy a part entirely on a whim that I want to try out different pedals.
With a used part, the depreciation is already built in. If I don't like it and don't ride it long then I can resell it for approximately the same price. Can't do that with a new part, it's only new once. Plus, Speedplay's are stupid expensive new. At new Speedplay prices, I'd more likely just stick with the used Look Deltas that I currently ride.

If I've got 90 days, I was still thinking to hold out hope that the seller wasn't a scumbag. I guess the consensus is not. I guess I've gotta start paying more attention to where the seller is located in the future...
