Plus he has zero feedback. $6500, but you get to look at the boxes.
If you pay a deposit.
The lack of feedback is probably fine. You can't cook up an ad this unattractive and not be legit.
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 just sold three ARC amps, local pick-up cash. Spoke with the gentleman and he was very excited. He and his wife drove over 2 hours from another state. Turns out we had a nice afternoon listening to music and BS'ing about audio. He has texted me several times since inviting my wife and myself to his place. We did have a lengthy conversation about the amps prior to his arrival. Couldn't have smoother. @dman777 So let us know the final decision..... Regards, barts |
Not sure why you'd entertain demoing them to anyone. In 20 years of selling tons of gear on A'gon, USAM and FB I've only ever demo'd one item - a pair of Focal Sopra 1- and even with these I required a $1000 deposit electronically first. Avoid last minute haggling, time wasters, nit pickers, "gee, I have to come back with my wife, friend etc." or a hundred other lame excuses. Even if the person is local have them complete the transaction electronically as if they were 500 miles away - like 99% of my buyers are anyway. You have everything to lose by doing a demo in your own home and little to gain imo. |
