Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage?

I got someone coming from out of town to buy some Focal tower speakers I have for sale. They are going to pay cash. I had the ad on usaudiomart (the buyer is a guest so no ratings). The guy sounds like a good guy (spoke to him on the phone). But I am new to this... should I demo the speakers (just to show they work) in my garage or is it safe to demo them in the house? Wasn’t sure the best practice for this. 

What do most do when having local pickup?

Ozzy... I read you post fast and missed the word "whacker". I went and re-read it for clarification.

"I never ever purchase from or sell to anyone with no feedbacks"

 

At one point in time no one on here had any feedback for someone else to reference

I’ve had multiple people trave over 1000 miles to listen and to pay cash for speakers and turntables. I had a 150lb tt with all the boxes to ship but I won’t ship tt’s or speakers. When these guys come down, I ask a few of my neighbors to come by so the buyer is greeted by 3 or 4 guys. I’ve had no problems. Btw: our states are gun friendly which is a plus.

I wouldn’t even let them in the garage.

Wow, guns on your person 3-4 male neighbors present all to sell a set of speakers "news" has really done a number on many. Very sad state we are in.

No judgement here I'm simply taken aback by the level of fear many live in day to day, again very sad.I am not naive (I grew up in the Bronx NY) and I can spot fear and mistrust a mile away which in turn makes me nervous so no keep your speakers...
