Actually we call them "tyre kickers". Its also known as "show rooming" where some one spends a lot of you time looking and asking questions then goes on the net to find it cheaper
Had an experience a few years back with a man who wanted all sorts of details on a boxlock we had for sale even wanted specific pictures . We had it on display at a game fair , the guy turns up looks and asks can he take more pictures ? We ask do want the gun or not ? No he says but I'm writing a book on the maker and want as much information on any of his guns as possible . Our answers second word was "off" ,


Gunman:I'm happy to hear that you have them over there as well. Bugger Off-I am just guessing the first word. You Limeys sure have a unique vocabulary- Wanker, Bugger, and that "Time of the Month" term- Bloody- WTF- that's - Wave The Flag, as we first did in victory after Lord Cornhollis surrendered to us "Colonials" way back when-
