Pick it up get to see maybe hear what you are buying get a discount meet the seller no scams that way, save on shipping and any shipping hassles plus you don't have to sit and wait for the shipper. Sure you have to drive but think of it as a fun road trip and make it so.
Local pick up only…
I am seeing more and more ads specifically for speakers where the seller is accepting local pick up ONLY. As much as I understand why this could be very convenient for the seller, it definitely limits the buyer options. Sure the shipping prices are getting higher but, is this where the used market classifieds are heading?
