If they can regularly ship books, records, stamps, coins, whatever on "approval" where you have a certain amount of time to return it if you don't want it, and if you don't return it you will be charged for it, then most of the time they have "sold" a product.

Most people will continue to pay for the item, and keep it, until the point comes where they are so fed up that they cancel that service. But if a person sometimes gets something he or she really likes, that person can put up with a lot and not return it.
