Potential Buyer Wants To Call In To Demo First.

[austmagz]

I'm not familiar with this situation.A potential buyer contacted me to ask if they could come to my home and use the piano to see what its like. The piano is packed and ready to be delivered to a new buyer. As any auction I'm not familiar with the idea of anyone visiting a seller to try out their item.Even in your everyday auction on an auction's business premisis for anything they dont let buyers test drive a vehicle. 

What are the rules for buyers and sellers in this situation? And,what about the safety factor?

Thank you for your help.

I think part of the reason buyers ask to demo it is so they can have a look at it, not just play it.

Fair enough, you say they could try one out in the store.

But buyers don't know you, they don't know if the item is 100% as claimed or might have a bit of a defect, maybe something not working quite as expected.

I know that sounds harsh but it is probably part of the reason people like to look at bigger or more expensive items-to reassure themselves it really is as described.
