Some years back I had a pair of Klipschorns for sale, local pickup only. The buyer ended up being a guy in Chicago who sent two of his employees down to Georgia to pick them up. I can't even imagine what would have been involved in crating them and shipping them by common carrier, but it would have more hassle than I was willing to undertake.
Local pick up only…
I am seeing more and more ads specifically for speakers where the seller is accepting local pick up ONLY. As much as I understand why this could be very convenient for the seller, it definitely limits the buyer options. Sure the shipping prices are getting higher but, is this where the used market classifieds are heading?
