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

How much for a cavity search?

Asking for a friend...

How about you taking the speakers to the buyers house?

I assumed it’s a pick up deal.

There have been more than a few times I’ve had to lug gear to deliver it to buyers just to make a deal and would charge a nominal delivery fee, usually just my gas and toll expenses.  Sometimes I got a deposit, although more often not.  I always believe there’s a certain honor amongst audiophiles and I’ve been doing it long enough to not get into messed up situations.  Each situation is different, I’ve had a lot of colorful experiences (as mentioned above) and have met a lot of great people that end up becoming friends.

One such occasion, when I purchased a Muse 100 amp and rare 2 piece Muse Model 1 preamp, I became very friendly with the seller and every few months we would have a gathering, usually at his home, where several people would bring a piece of gear over and for hours, we would mix and match components for a very extended listening and socializing session amongst audiophiles.  We’d get dinner delivered and before you knew it, we’d be there for 8-10 hours.  Now, that I no longer live in the area, I miss those gatherings.
