God, I hate to ask this…

I have one more year to go before I can call myself a survivor. 4 years in remission and not a day goes by I don't think of it. It is a very lonely and introspective road that has changed the way I approach life. I no longer waste time. As other have said here...... clinical drugs and therapies have allowed cancer patients to live many years after this absolutely awful disease. God does listen , prayers are very powerful but I am sure in one way or another you already know that. 

Like ; foggyus91 has mentioned and I will second his recommendation ; contact TMR / The Music Room and speak with Simon or Raymond as they are great to work with. I have used them the past few times I have had something to sell here in order to avoid some of the nonsense and fees of selling something here. Yes their charge is steep but they will pick it up for you for free using Fed-Ex and in a couple of weeks send you a check. Easy and no hassles. 

I kept the receipts of my purchases and wrote down the cost of my system in the event of death as well as fire , flood etc.....I sealed the envelope ( after each new purchase  )  and told my wife in the note in the envelope that in event I am gone this is what the system is worth. She will at least have an idea and knows about TMR.....  

I do understand but just a little of where you are in life as it such a lonely road but one that you are always constantly reminded of. However, as other have said make few calls and enjoy your life e and your friends and family and hopefully with the Grace of God ......we all here will be talking to you in the years to come. Peace ....    

My thoughts are with you.  A good audio dealer relationship can help your spouse with fair and easy relocation of your equipment.  We should all know someone we trust by now.  Best of luck.  Don’t get rid of what you love.  TMR requires a bit of work packing and sending.

Sorry to hear about your health issues.  Hope all goes well.  As far as your equipment I’ve had similar thoughts as I prepare for the inevitable.  I told my wife and kids to not just have a yard sale to get rid of all of my equipment and physical music.  Not sure they will follow through so I asked my friend that is into eBay and FB Marketplace to help sell the more expensive stuff so at least the family get something back.  The hobby will pass with me.  Such is life.  One of my kids will take my boat and the other my Pats tickets so my other two hobbies are in good hands.  Be well and rock on.  

My thoughts are with you as well.  Over the years I worked with many patients who were facing end of life decisions.  I learned it is prudent to make plans while you can; but to still hold onto the things that bring you joy and comfort while you are still here.   I think a spread sheet such as lalitk suggested is a great start.  You might want to include instructions as to which friends you would like to bequeath your treasures to, once you are gone.  That will create a legacy of joyful memories amongst your friends, provide you with some comfort while you battle your illness and lessen the work your survivors will have left to do.  I also learned in my work that your doctors and nurses have no way of predicting the future.  One never knows how each individual will respond to treatment.  That and the advent of newer immunologically based treatments can greatly impact your near future.  So enjoy your treasures while you have them and don't give up the fight.  And thanks for sharing your thoughts with your electronic community.  Your comments may help many others ( and all of us at some point ) deal with the issues of living.

I'm so sorry to hear this, my thoughts are with you.

I am on the other side of your situation, having lost a relative with a lot of high end equipment and a lot of media, and me trying to dispose of it in the best way possible. In fact, it's why I've joined here in the first place.

He was a music lover and had a high quality vinyl collection of over 10k albums that he planned to leave to my wife and I. We were able to persuade him a few years before he passed to sell that, as we had no place to keep it or the knowledge to sell it (you can see the story of it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Y1RGtG5I4&pp=ygUXdG9wcGVyIHZpbnlsIGNvbGxlY3Rpb24%3D and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Y1RGtG5I4&pp=ygUXdG9wcGVyIHZpbnlsIGNvbGxlY3Rpb24%3D)

When he did pass last year, I inherited a large amount of equipment that I have been selling over the past year on various platforms. It is time (and space) consuming. While I love and will keep some equipment, I do not consider myself an audiophile. Finding the value of much of this equipment is difficult for someone who is not a hobbyist/pro. I was fortunate enough to be able to sell off the entire Kaleidescape system to a single dealer who was a great help (more than a pallet of boxes). I'm still working on selling speakers, amps, and cables which are heavy and bulky to package/ship. While I've recently discovered TMR and would be willing to take a lower price, they aren't interested in the amps/processors as they are focused on 2 channel.

This experience is forcing me to look at all of my own "stuff", and part with much of what is more sentimental than actually used. As I don't actually want most of my parent's prized possessions, I'm sure my daughter will not want mine. I don't want to burden those left behind with the process that I am currently experiencing. I will at some point reach out to a local dealer and try to sell the whole package, but even getting to that point has taken time and effort. It's a difficult and emotional process.
