I understand what you are saying, but most sales I have encountered here on agon always required shipping.
Think about this:
You buy a new set of floorstanders to replace the old ones.
Do you really think you have room for 4 speakers in you living/listening room?
Then there is the fact that you have twice as many speakers (4) & probably more boxes (6) & you better half is on your case.
Good point on the privacy issue, but not a issue for me - but space is!
I just pack them up, put them in the garage & save twice the room & they are out of the way until the phone rings or a serious e-mail comes along & my wife is happy.
Always best to do your research/auditioning first & then jump on the right choice @ the right price & take 'em home - but do take them out of the boxes & check out their condition first.
Since the seller is local - Have him/her agree that if there is a problem or serious issue - He will take them back within a 3 day period.
I have shipped (sight unseen) to California, Maryland, Canada, UK, Germany, Italy & Spain with no problems & 100% positive feedback.
Hope this helps in your quest
