ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO SELL


My husband, Fred Parsons, was a long time member or Audiogon. He recently passed away and I would like to sell his entire system. Can someone tell me the best way to do this.  I want to sell the entire lot, rather than in pieces.  He was a perfectionist and everything is well maintained and in great shape.  Thanks for any help.

Michelle, sorry for your loss. I believe you listed the system but it was probably removed by the administrators, guess it undermines the main site. Anyway based on my having had a chance to see the list while it was up it is clear you have a nice mid range system but there are one or two pieces like the speakers (Maggie’s I recall) that are much more desirable than the remainder. What this probably means is that selling as a system probably does not make sense. All of the pieces can probably be sold but each will need to be listed, priced and positioned correctly. This is a job of work and hopefully a local Agoner can help. Or a dealer that trades high volumes of similar stuff. Here in Portland Oregon Echo Audio would be such a dealer. If you let us know where you are located we may be able to point you the right way. Good luck
Hi

Sorry for your loss. IMO you might have to sell the system in pieces. It can be difficult to sell an entire system in one shot. Since you are a novice here on Audiogon and selling here can really test your patience and sanity I would say try to get in contact with a professional reseller here. Work out a deal for commissions etc. They can handle the listing, shipping, dealing with the lowballers etc so you can focus on other things.

I have no affiliation with this seller but they did parts of the estate sale for Harry Pearson.

Best of luck.
Please consider not selling your husband's equipment and try to enjoy it the way he did. This way, you can continue to enjoy his presence.

Sorry for your loss. 

My advice - and the same that I will give to my wife when I'm gone - is to sell it here and not through a dealer. Unless that dealer knew your husband well. Or to find a friend who will sell it for you. 

Paypal is very safe as long as you follow their rules to ensure you get the guarantee. 
I'm so sorry for your loss, I am happy to help if you're anywhere near New York City. You certainly have a lot of good input from fellow posters here on audio gon. Andrew
