Why preparation matters before a seller meetup
Local sales often move quickly, and buyers can forget important checks under pressure. Knowing exactly which screens to run first helps you make a better decision on the spot.
A short but focused sequence is usually better than trying to test everything badly.
Best quick checklist to prepare
Plan to run black, gray, and white first, then red, green, and blue if anything looks suspicious. That covers burn-in, uniformity, tint, and many pixel-level issues in just a few minutes.
Also decide in advance which zones you will inspect first, such as the status bar, keyboard area, center, and corners.
How to act during the meetup
If the screen is clean, the deal becomes much safer. If you find obvious defects, lower the offer or walk away instead of convincing yourself the issue will not matter.
Having a plan makes it easier to stay objective under time pressure.
