SELLING IT ALL

Sorry to hear about your husband.  You obvously have some handle on the gear and understand it.  Do not and I repeat do not go to an estate sale specialist.  I have done a few of those and every single one i have ever met that run those estate sales are crooks. They have their following and they give away products to those that follow them.   I have also been to quite a few estate sales looking for vinyl and all the estate sale folks want to do is move product and could care less about the individual and true value.

Go to a few local high end dealers and have conversations .  Have a few come price them out.  A bunch of the gear you list should bring some top dollar.  There are a few online guys as well.  Good suggestions from folks above like teh Music Room , Hi Fi Heaven and others. 

 I would be interested in some gear when you price it out as well..

Sorry Dill those are my real life expereinces with Estate sale folks. I could care less about this womens equipment i really do not need any of it. I personally had to have an estate sale for my moms possiesions and we were completely ripped off 15K dining room sets they sell for $100 as an example. 10K couches for $50 and so on . Ridiculous. Then I had an estate sale when I moved three years ago. Downsizing and so didnt need all of my belonginings any longer. All they had were junk dealers looking to steal my belongings. Offering me $150 for a custom butcherblock that is $1500 easy if you wanted to buy one yourself today. Offering me $100 for my 67 Blue Sparkle Slingerland Drum kit and upset I didnt take itt even when a guy offered $150 and I didnt take I said listen, These are Zildjian cymbals from 50s and 60s stamped markings , 5 lug snare etc... all classic pieces each worth $100 a piece easy and the snare goes for hundreds. Net net these people were thieves as I even sold stuff gave them the money and then it wasnt on the report they provided.

In three days the sold just garbage and stole money from me for sure. Their buddy came back took all of our china, extra dishes in the containers I had them in which were not for sale and they said he would only pay $100 , BS. The 5 containers he took were worth more than $100 to replace

Horrible results from these folks.. In two days I sold allthey didnt on FB marketplace and made tripple what they brought in. My drum kit went for $700 as an example which was fair to a guy that is going to part it and sell it .

Now to me buying, I attend these estate sales looking for vinyl and audi grear that might be interesting. Every single seller has their following of people and they give them deals and steals. I see it everytime I am at these sales. The buyer greets the estate sales person and then she or he points them to the product they put aside and they do a deal. Last one the estate sales person and the buyer where trying to figure if the HO Scale trains were the ones worth a bunch of money while I was standing right there.

Maybe you are on the up and up but my real life experience with Estate sales folks is they are all crooks . I stick by going to local audio shops or online specility guys to get an idea of value then sell how you wish
