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


I got someone coming from out of town to buy some Focal tower speakers I have for sale. They are going to pay cash. I had the ad on usaudiomart (the buyer is a guest so no ratings). The guy sounds like a good guy (spoke to him on the phone). But I am new to this... should I demo the speakers (just to show they work) in my garage or is it safe to demo them in the house? Wasn’t sure the best practice for this. 

What do most do when having local pickup?

@devinplombier ,

Plus he has zero feedback. $6500, but you get to look at the boxes.

Actually just sent him a message to see if I summed up his ad correctly.

If you pay a deposit.

The lack of feedback is probably fine. You can't cook up an ad this unattractive and not be legit.

I just sold three ARC amps, local pick-up cash.  Spoke with the gentleman and he was very excited.  He and his wife drove over 2 hours from another state.  Turns out we had a nice afternoon listening to music and BS'ing about audio.  

He has texted me several times since inviting my wife and myself to his place.

We did have a lengthy conversation about the amps prior to his arrival.  Couldn't have smoother.

@dman777  So let us know the final decision.....

I did the demo in my garage. It went great. The guy did not mind. He was really nice, but it is good to be safe than sorry. It was fun meeting someone else in the same hifi hobby. Getting cash was great also, no worries about electric payments.
