Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only.

Some bad info on this thread, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App and the like are not without substantial risks, I wouldn't use any of them for big ticket transactions with strangers. I'm selling a car at this very moment on facebook marketplace, mostly time wasters, consignment services, scammer title services. Even giving out a VIN these days can open you up to more personal info than you'd imagine. One shouldn't minimize the risks associated with buying and selling with strangers, better to be safe than sorry.

Just sold a pair of speakers on CL, no problem. Nice fella came with his wife and (always) cash, in and out in a couple of minutes. I imagine this has a lot to do with where you’re located.

Rural Connecticut is hardly a scammers paradise.

I've only had two "bad" experiences selling, in both cases, the "customer" wanted to see the item "in person" before making the payment.  In one case the guy showed up at my home and decided that he'd pay $600 less than we agreed to on the phone.  In the other case, I drove about an hour west to meet the guy, who never showed up.  I have had no issues selling items when the payment is done through the site the item is posted on.

Bought and sold multiple audio items, I always get a name and address of the party I’m doing business with and do a thorough Google search. You can verify a person is who they say they are and much more.

I have bought and sold audio equipment and had no problems...I have bought a big pair of speakers that just fit in my car..
