Running a magic item shop is no easy task. What if someone wants to test the merchandise to make sure that the enchantment is real and that they're not throwing their money away? What if someone wants to see if they look appropriately awesome in that Cape of the Mountebank?
It's fortunate that all magic items resize to fit their wearer, or else this would be happening on the time!
In my magic item shop is a pair of slippers of spider climbing, stuck to the ceiling. The shopkeeper fell out of them when testing them.
They've been taunting him ever since. He's happy to let any customer have them for free if they can get them down. This entails:
DC 10 Athletics check to climb the shelves. DC 15 Acrobatics check to leap to the slippers, catch them and get your feet inside. Four CON saves (DC 10, 12, 15, then 18) to hang upside down in them for an hour and attune to them without passing out.
Just an edit for people with suggestions: This particular shop is unique (it's a Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday) and has a dearth of tables to stack or stepladders to climb. If they leave to find one, the shop may not be there upon return. Also, while the shopkeeper will happily give you a reward for removing the eyesore slippers, he's less likely to reward someone for cutting a big hole in the floor of his bedroom.

A real professional would demonstrate the ring on themselves, not the customer.
