The buyer will still have to pay although the overall sale would be subject to inspection before committing to the sale.</P><P>The buyer will be given a collection/QR code for each item. If they decide to go ahead with the purchases, you will need to enter or scan the codes before they take them away or you can cancel the sales.</P><P>This will not give you full protection as if they do say items not as described after they have taken away, you would have to accept this and arrange for the return although you get to meet your buyer and show them the items working etc.</P><P>For high end purchases and if they are close enough to view before the final purchase stage, I don't think it is an unreasonable request.</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 15 Dec 2025 16:27:55 GMT cobwebcottage 2025-12-15T16:27:55Z
