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?

kerrybh has the right idea. There's post's here from dreamers and realists I am the latter. A good con man can fool anyone. Have a couple guys there with you , if you don't know anyone hire them easy to do and have a pistol racked and ready hidden but within easy reach. If the buyer has someone with him they wait in the car. If both need to hear them they can switch. House demo a must. If they don't sound great you may lose the sale |
Think what you all will, but people have been robbed and killed in situations like this, just as it could easily happen if you meet somewhere. Yet if this guy is legit, you should be able to tell just during your conversation. Does he know what he is talking about, does he sound like an audio guy or gal ! That said, I have had people here to buy several times, and zero problems. But I am rarely here alone, and I am wearing my CCW. I have met all great people ! |
