No really, James.  If you have a brick and mortar shop selling  
synthesizers, you own those synthesizers until you sell them to a  
customer. Very, very few synth manufacturers will do this sort of  
product return deal.  Its cash up front for X-amount of stock, and  
then its a done deal.

For having the hassle of dealing with you.

Thats up to Drawmer, but I can tell you from what I know, *zero* synth  
mfr's allow stock return if it can't be sold.
