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?

Have someone with you that you secretly hate.  So if things go south you have the right person to share the experience with....Cue Montgomery Burns chuckle

Better safe than sorry I guess, but the chances of problems are very remote. Keep it in the garage if you feel better, but what is to stop them from entering your house if they are armed or threaten?

@foggyus91 ,

Sure good luck with that. 

Have him text you a picture of his driver license, with everything marked out but his picture and home address.

Thank you. And good luck to your next username aka earlflynn, aka jerryg123, aka skypunk, aka 20 others...

I never do business at my home.  I’ll meet someone in town to pickup what I’m selling.  Some sellers have let me in their house but that’s what they’ve requested.
