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

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..
