Traveling never going to happen??? need advice


Greetings, my question friends if you fell in love with a pair of excellent condition very heavy 130lbs. each floor loudspeakers would you drive say 1,500 or more miles to pick them up saving tons of money on shipping and also, knowing they will be perfect once you get home. The point of this forum how many audiophiles, would actually do the drive, I have been trying to sell my Andras, without success for near 6-months!! I have no shipping crates. Thanks for reading any help, or advice I would so appreciate it... anyone else have this problem??

OP-
I save all boxes and packing materials- this is me. Offer tomeet prospective buyers half-way from your location. For a really good deal on speakers, I always travel as well. Too many bad things can come from shipping. Happy Listening!
It would need to be a screaming good deal to drive any distance for pickup. My range would be under 800 mi round trip.
15 years ago, I drove from new orleans to Charlotte to pick up a pair of khorns. My wife loves to share the story as she wanted to go to Asheville nc for many years. I come in on Friday and told her "get packed" we going to Asheville this weekend. She was so excited about the "spontaneity" of her romantic trip and we hit the road. All went well in Asheville until we got ready to leave and I drive up with a uhaul trailer. I told her then, since we were in the area, let's go visit this guy in Charlotte. She ask was I going to get her some furniture. I said kinda! Didn't go over well when we went inside to only see these khorns. However she let me get them but 15 yrs later, every one we meet hears the story!
