Pass ... If I were the seller and someone locally wanted to inspect it, I'd say sure. After all, I AM trying to sell it. I can't imagine that the seller would be swamped by local calls ...what are the chances that scores of people from the same area would be bidding on the same eBay item?

P.S. The seller can't answer your questions, either. Seller can't answer questions, and doesn't want you to inspect it: two strikes and the seller's out.
