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?

If you can't get a friend to be there, and you can't pay an off duty cop to be there, and you're not able to get an ID, and you're not able to talk on the phone, and you don't trust yourself…

 

Take a 25% deposit by Zelle which links to a bank account

and they can pay the rest in cash

if you are trusting them to come in your home, they are trusting you to not steal their money 

 

Trust works both ways so if they don't trust you to give you a deposit then they are not trustworthy
