Hi. Purchasing used speakers without hearing them first almost always leads to problems, especially if you like, or are used to a particular "sound" If you have heard the speakers before, and are looking for a used pair, Audiogon, among others, is the place to find them. If you know what you want/are looking for, its always advisable to check the sellers feedback, this is the first place to start. Also, Paypal is available for payments through credit cards, or bank accounts, and its free, many sellers accept this type of payment, or they can sign up for free very quickly. If there is a problem with the product, the payment can be disputed through Paypal. I usually watch for ads that say " speakers never abused, they play so loud pictures fall off the wall!" Most audiophiles take good care of their equipment, and for the most part, audiophiles frequent AudiogoN. So I recommend that 1) check the sellers feedback 2) check types of payment for flexibility 3) get a phone number to talk with seller, especially regarding the sale of loudspeakers 4) If needed, contact other members that has had dealings with the seller. Hope this gives you a place to start. Regards, Bill M.
