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?

I would demo the speakers in the garage using my oldest cheapest amp and sources, just good enough to show that the speakers work.  I don't need to make them sound good, especially given garage acoustics and the mediocre upstream equipment -- not sounding great would be understandable.  Presumably, the buyer has already decided he wants these, so I'm not trying to give a sales demo here, just show that they're not broken.
