    Make them come at a time when he is home too. But I have always had people come to pick things up from the house and I have it right by the front door to take out to the verandah.

    For items like that I think it is reasonable for them to know exactly what it is like before they buy it. If you have your DH home and the pram close by then I think it would be fine.

    Yeah, that's what I tend to think. Her bid is already up to $510. If I was buying a second hand pram I'd definately want to look at it first and make sure everything worked. I also put on the ad that I was happy for people to inspect prior to the auction ending, so I'm not suprised they've asked.

    if i was buying, i'd want to have a look! i agree with the PPs that if your DH is home & you have the pram close to the door, it shouldn't be a problem

    Yes I would let them but I would make sure DH was home too. I sold DS's pram on ebay last year and have sold numerous things as pick up only and the people have always been really nice and I end up wondering why I was so worried about strangers coming to our home. Its good to be cautious so I dont blame your DH but am sure you have nothing to worry about. Good luck.
