I appreciate the analogy but respectfully I don't think it holds up 1:1.

Love or hate window shopping, the nature of shopping for fashion lends itself far more to in-person evaluation. Every item is slightly different, and so is every person wearing them. This is why you can try on clothes in the store!

Crate digging for vinyl is similar. There's a real joy of discovery, and turntables with headphones for auditioning purchases.

I have a hard time picturing the same dynamic with identical shrink-wrapped boxes.
