Or rather annoying to the surplus shop owner,
thrift shop manager, etc.
Sure it's reasonable to want to make sure what you're buying, but not many
shops are going to put up with you disassembling their goods in the store.
I still don't see what's wrong with thoroughly examining something
before purchasing it, whether it's used, or new. It makes perfect
sense to take a tool kit into a store where one is shopping for some
random piece of electrical or electronic equipment... might not be a
bad idea when shopping for a car either.
