Selling my dads top of the line system


My father just passed of a stroke suddenly. He was very big in the audio game. He as Revel Ultima Salon 2 speakers, 2 mark levinson model 536 pre apps, Mcintosh C50 pre amp, Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD blue ray player, at least 3 Audio quest water cabels, 2 or more viper power cables. This is what I know of that he currently has hooked up. What is my best option for selling it? Should I bundle it together, or piece it out? He loved his system so I don’t just want to sell it for nothing, but honor his memory and make sure the system finds a good home. If I did not have 3 kids  Home audio stores by me have been no help. Its all in premium shape, with the boxes, manuals, and remotes.

What town are you located in? The reason I ask is that it is a virtual certainty that someone on this site with a fine level of experience and high character would be willing to drop by and help you catalog the items. They may also be willing to assist you marketing the items, which would be a tremendous help to you both in terms of worry as well as value realized.

Absolutely no offense is intended whatsoever but you have no track record on Audiogon nor a reputation to fall back on in the audio community so the odds of you receiving maximum value for the gear should you try to sell it yourself would be remote. When I am shopping for gear on Audiogon, I will not purchase at all from individuals with no feedback unless it is a face to face transaction. If others are as cautious as well, that would limit your audience. A tenured Audiogon member could assist in that regard considerably.

Sincere condolences to you and your family. You have some tough days ahead and we all wish you peace and comfort as you endure this trying time.
