Selling Advice

Hi!   I'm new to Audiogon, and I would appreciate any advice you guys can give me to help me sell my sound system.
I looked for a thread on this topic but couldn't find it, so I apologize if this has been asked and answered.
I have a system consisting of: Parasound amp (5250 v1) and preamp (7100 7.1), three in-room Triad Gold front mini-monitor speakers, two Triad Bronze rear speakers, a Triad Silver 12" powered sub-woofer, Denon player, remotes, cables, etc.
The set is about 11 years old and in excellent physical and working condition.
Now the questions:
- Am I better off selling this set as one system, or as individual components?
- If the former, can that be done on Audiogon? (I got the impression that this site is designed for individual components, but am not sure)
- Should I offer to ship, or local pick-up only?
Thanks much!!

If you don’t want to hassle with individual sale and shipping, I recommend Craigslist. Advertise as a package deal and stick with Cash and Carry terms.

Hi you might be better selling your stuff on EBay. I would just sell as a bundle for what ever you can get. Like auction it off. And put local pick up only.

Thanks much to everyone for your helpful tips.
That gives me a good range of options to choose from.  
In light of ebm's and tattooedtrackman's comments, I have a follow-up question for bjesien:  
For this particular set of components, would you try to sell and ship each component individually, or are they not worth bothering with?
(I don't take it personally; I'd rather know the facts)

No matter what you do you are gonna be seriously disappointed how little this is all worth. Might try and list a few eBay No Reserve. No Reserve auctions always get you a lot more for stuff like this than any other way. Its all I use for crap like this and I'm always laughing at how much some people are willing to pay for the glory of "winning" an auction. 

But seriously, unless its worth $150 to you to deal with the CraingsList crowd I would go eBay for the amp and player, maybe CL the speakers, and whatever you can't give away to the CL guys to sweeten the deal goes to Salvation Army. 

That's my bet by the way. $150 net for everything.
