Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage?

I have never had a person in my home that I regretted inviting in. Generally, the kind of people that buy used high end HiFi are not the high risk type. How many crooks even know what an Audio Research Ref 6 SE even is? 

I NEVER let someone over until I've had a nice long talk on the phone with them- including some topics that help me evaluate their character. You can tell a lot about a person by their word usage, attitude, personal transparency, and knowledge of the item you are selling. If those planets don't align no deal. 

Have the person join Audiogon and post a cable review as a precondition of the sale.

We'll check them out/pick them to peices.

I have sold a LOT of audio stuff online. I have always invited buyers into my home and even demo the system with/without the item they are buying. Never had an issue. It seems that most people that are into our hobby are generally good guys.

Now when I sell a weed whacker on FB marketplace, that's a whole different story....

Ozzy... I read you post fast and missed the word "whacker". I went and re-read it for clarification.

"I never ever purchase from or sell to anyone with no feedbacks"

At one point in time no one on here had any feedback for someone else to reference
