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.

bastereo - You mentioned some of the pieces have likely appreciated in one of your posts.  It's important to understand this virtually never occurs, at least beyond the retail price - except in a statistically insignificant way with the extraordinarily rare outlier. Yes, handled properly as many have given advice on here, you will be able to recoup a worthwhile amount of the money put into it however. 1/2 the original price paid is the point danced around in all sorts of ways.  With say, the Audio Research components mentioned for example, it may be higher. Selling in bulk traditionally involves discounting beyond the going, market price.  Not necessarily, but more often then not. Ebay is often an excellent way to go to maximize return, but involves some work on your part to package & ship to buyers. You seem to have an appetite to do the work to inventory it properly so putting that energy into finding the right buyers & getting gear to them - to get the best pricing, appears to be something you may have a disposition for.  When dealing with buyers, trust your intuition.  Best.
