Falando no selim em questão, Prologo Dimension, encontrei isto (
na Austrália! - o site tem URL da austrália mas a empresa é italiana (?)):

Test Saddle
It's possible to rent the saddle to test it. Rent conditions are:
- The customer has to purchase the saddle like another normal saddle.
- The test time is 14 days (from the date the customer will receive the saddle until the date of the shipping to us, we'll consider the shipper tracking history), after this period the customer can't return the saddle and will be the owner.
- The saddle has to be returned intact. We are aware that testing it can be dirty ecc ecc (this is considered wear and not breakeage of the product).
- Returning the saddle in the terms described above the customer will be refunded of the value of the saddle excluding the shipping cost.(practically the only cost the customer has to support for this test-rent are the shipping costs for the outward and and return to us of the item).
- Please note that the saddle can be added to an order of other material.
Ou seja, até a Prologo tem um programa de selins de teste (apesar de no site oficial não aparecer nenhuma referência a isto).
Se calhar o grande problema é mesmo a cadeia de distribuição/lojas que não lhes interessa ter selins de teste, devem ter medo que o cliente experimente o selim e depois vá fazer a compra online onde será (tipicamente) mais barato.
