Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest?

Hey all, I have recently acquired a fairly extensive setup/collection from a family member who passed. I am looking to move on from nearly everything in the collection, and have been planning to sell through audiogon.

Is this the best way to go? Is there a local place to talk to someone directly in the pacific northwest? Shipping all of this very expensive equipment (lampizator golden gate 2, several high end carts, speakers, tone arms, etc.) seems risky btu willing to do it if it's my best option. Is it better to try to do this locally?

Even better, anyone in the northwest want to take a look?

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post, new to this site.

Look up individual components on HifiShark.com and determine the approximate resale values on each piece

While not a complete waste of time, HiFi Shark compiles listings of what people were asking, not what it sold for. The sample size for many items is very small which diminishes how useful it is.  It also can't take into account things like condition of the item, how old it is, if it has a warranty, does it include the original box, does it include insured shipping,  and a variety of other factors including the very important, how desperate the seller was/is. 

So the idea that HiFi Shark can "determine the approximate resale value" is not even close to being accurate. It is a starting point. it can't determine anything.
