SELLING IT ALL


Hi, all: I am in East Texas. My husband has so much equipment I can’t even spreadsheet it all. He is now in a nursing home with dementia and will not be coming home. I want to sell all the equipment, and am a motivated seller. Some of the brands: Marantz, Bryston, Linn Klout, Linn Kairn, Linn Magic, Linn Keil, Parasound, Theil, Klipsch, Polk Audio, Cambridge, Audio Research. Then lower end stuff like Sony, Yamaha, Onkyo, Teac, etc. Miles of cables/interconnects (Audio Magic, Audio Quest, Toslink, and others -- hard to inventory. Best ones are not on this list because they are behind equipment.) Lots of power wedges. DACs, power conditioners, and misc. other stuff like racks.
it.

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..
Condolences.

One of my best friends had dementia, another died with truckloads of "stuff".  A hard time.

Condolences.
Bastereo,

My condolences. 

I am starting to build a system from scratch and have an interest in purchasing some gear; I am not a dealer.

Please PM me at your convenience to discuss if interested. 

Respectfully,
Frank
Do not listen to searchingforthesound he doesn't know what he is talking about. In my 28 years in the business, we have never done what he suggests and after over 940 successful sales, never had a complaint about what he says. I know most of my competitors and they too have excellent track records.  searchingforthesound you are giving bad advice or is it you just want to get your foot in the door.
As a couple of posters above agree, stay completely away from Craigslist.  I can't emphasize that enough.
