I wouldn’t even let them in the garage.
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?

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...

Reminds of this from a couple years ago - somewhat off topic, somewhat not. Man loitering outside of Aldi: Hey man, you got a cig? [Joint laughter as I walked off toward my car.] True story. |
@balooo2 +1 beside who doesn’t want to hear a good story about a stranger coming into your house and doing bad. Trust me, you can take that story well into your aging out. |
@hbarrel + 1 - I've sold 3 or 4 sets of speakers this way and never had any trouble; I also live in a secure apartment house and I don't worry about burglaries, either. |
