I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud

I've received an offer on my Klipsch P-17b speakers from a buyer with zero feedback. I also have zero feedback. I'm just concerned about getting screwed somehow. Can anyone give me advice?

Maybe the buyer knows someone who he could use as a reference?  One of my relatives was a first-time seller here a few months ago, the buyer was a bit nervous, so the seller used me as a reference and after the buyer and I spoke he was no longer nervous about it.

Have you tried selling them on the Klipsch Forum?

No fee, PM system where you can exchange phone numbers and talk directly to potential buyer.  I saw recently where a forum member was looking for a pair of P-17B's.

I have bought and sold there many times and all transactions have been smooth as silk.  Same can be said about this site.

Hey guys , thanks again for the responses. Bill, I just researched a guy pdawidowski, and he is on the Klipsch Forums. Problem is, he wants to have a courier pick them up because, as I find out, he's in the UK. That would violate PayPal's seller protection stuff... 😥

Sell locally. Cash only. No returns. You'll get less but no worries.

Shipping speakers overseas is not advisable even if both of you had perfect feedback!  What happens when they are damaged in transit?  Are you going to file a claim with the courier and refund the buyer?  You don't need the hassle, like others have said, local sale is best.
