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?

Zelle is better than cash. It is instant, not reversible and you don’t have to worry about counterfeit bills. You cannot do a chargeback with Zelle.

the only potential issue is transaction limits for the sender.

for security, I give the street / cross street but not the house number until the buyer is close by, and always meet in daylight with someone else around .
