I had a younger person drive 5 hours up to my house from St Louis to purchase my
older B&W 801 S2's sent him pictures talked a lot on the phone got to know him.
Absolutly no problems other than getting them into his infinity SUV.
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?

"There you have it, average ordinary retirees more paranoid than a homeless tweeker at the end of a four day binge."
Well, @devinplombier, this retiree knows the difference between a "tweaker" and a "tweeker". In addition, this retiree had three Glocks pointed at his head by hood rats during a car-jacking armed robbery. SOB's even refused to let me have my crutches out of the car (I was recovering from a bone fusion on my foot), asking me if the crutches "were worth dying over". Instead of giving them the fear they wanted, I used my time memorizing every detail about them and their getaway car's tag number. All three were caught within 24 hours after going on a 5 county crime spree including 3 stolen cars and 6 armed robberies. They all are enjoying 15 to 20 years of being someone's girlfriend, mainly because of my detailed testimony. So no -- not a single person I don't know is entering my home to audition gear, which is a moot point anyway. I don't ever sell anything. I have every piece of gear I've purchased since 1976...even the boxes and manuals. I hope you never have an experience like mine that changes how you view people, but if you do, maybe you'll understand why in today's world it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't call it "paranoia", I call it "reality" and I'm fortunate to live in Southern states where we have the right to carry.
