I have mixed feelings about letting people come to my home. One day a nice young couple came to look at a bike and while they were there another customer came to look at some of the others I had for sale. He took a quick look and left without saying much... after driving 65 miles! This really made me nervous for a couple weeks afterwards. As a consolation the couple surprised me by buying two bikes, so it was worth having them come to the house in that instance.

Since then I often meet people at a nearby grocery store lot or halfway to the big city. I try to get a feel for the customer on the phone and if I'm going to allow them to come to my home to say, look at more than one bike, I don't give them the address until they're actually ready to leave. I hate it when no-shows have my address.
