Another option you can explore that I’ve taken advantage of is selling speakers through a local dealer who sells used and vintage equipment as well as new equipment. That way, you can still put an ad online, but you don’t have to mess with the buyers. Also, people have the option to listen to the speakers, and it exposes the speakers to a wider audience. They charge 10% commission but it’s worth it.
Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only.
I have been trying to sell my tower speakers on US Audio mart. I don't have the patience to package them up and mess with freight shipping. So, I advertise them as local pickup only and I set the price pretty cheap. But, the 2 serious buyers I have gotten seemed to be bad actors/scammers. I would catch details that lead me to cancel the arrangements before they happened.
I guess it's a bad idea to do local pickup only when selling audio equipment?
