SELLING IT ALL

You clearly understand that this is specialized equipment, and a dealer or estate broker is going to eat a big chunk of your proceeds.

*If* you aren't in a huge hurry and you want to maximize your profit here, you're best off finding a relatively bright college kid who you trust (do you have someone like that in your network?).

Have him or her value this stuff using Audiogon's bluebook and eBay's completed auction listings,  and list it in the appropriate places (and pack and ship everything) for a 10% cut (to keep the incentives aligned).

You could get 80% of it out of your house in a month that way. 

Anyway, that's what I'd do.

hifishark.com  for prices

Audiogon for sales

cragslist is for getting screwed

bastereo,

I wouldn't get in too much of a hurry. I'd subscribe to the blue book and get some idea of used prices, then go about pricing things to move, i.e. a discount from the blue book prices. But I would not sell quick for whatever I could get. You deserve to get some money back out of the stuff I think...

So sorry to hear about your husband.  We went through it with my mother.

If you get some ideas on what things are worth, Craig’s list is free and usaudiomart.com charges like 1 or 2% and you can specify pickup only on both.

All the best.

I'm not trouncing AG but there is a listing fee and a RE LISTING fee. 
I've never sold on AG only bought.

I don't think it's the place for the Texas lady. I'm from the Waco area as a kid, Moody actually. I almost bet the local PD would help you out as far as the money exchanges. Just check. 

Your on my prayer list Good Texas Lady. I know what it's like to take care of a loved one that is not mentally or physically well. It wears you out..

Somehow get a message  where the list of GEAR is. ID the stuff by model ..  It's usually on the face plate, or an ID tag on the back or bottom. Most here will know what you're talking about..

No lifting please.. be careful, there are sharp corners on some of that stuff. Heavy too..

Picture of Gear works, pictures of piles works.. 

I wish you good fortune and smooth sailing on your endeavor..

With respect.
