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.

Pacific NW is a large area. I'm in Spokane, WA.

Why is it that the OP frequently doesn't post answers to questions or add comments after their first post?

 

I've dealt with Echo Audio several times over the years and have been very happy with their service, both selling and buying. I'm in the first Vancouver.

Good suggestions.  Would recommend US Audio Mart as well.  Good luck!

I kinda get the feeling that Hawthorne Stereo is getting out of used gear... For the past few months they’ve only had few new listingsand half of them are garbage, as if they’re flipping stuff they had to take in as part of a larger deal. 

In greater Seattle, check out Gig Harbor Audio. In Portland, definitely Echo Audio. They’re a bit idiosyncratic but you’ll like them. Their pricing is realistic. There’s also Fred’s Sound of Music.

I tried to sell a few things through Echo, they are good for buyers. They offered about a third of ebay prices. TMR offers about 50-60%.

A third of ebay prices, I don’t even know what that means
