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?

Love the wannabe rambos living in the wild west here. what a sad state of affairs.

What a world that we have to wonder about things like this,

I've never had an issue personally. In fact I'm about to thin the herd and will probable have people in the house.

If you are built like a offensive lineman and look like you've done prison time, then by all means, let them in.

If you are at all hesitant, then demo in the garage with the door open.

 

Do it in the house as you would normally listen so the buyer knows what he’s getting.   But, have someone(s) else there with you in case things go sour.

I've had many people in my home to demo gear before purchase. It's the right thing to do. Or don't do local pickup.
