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?
+1 @viridian I'm near Austin and have sold multiple items for cash and local pickup only. Speakers, turntable and amplifier. Always used craigslist for those sales. Never had an issue. Even dropped some off midway to the buyer's location when I felt confortable doing so. Much easier to find local buyers on Craigslist than USAudiomart. |
