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 a great community my dad was part of. I am so grateful for all the tips and advice you all have given me, and I am taking it all in. My dad was located near Ft. Wayne Indiana.

Yes they are Piano black mint condition, boxes and paper work still mint condition as well. Is there a way for you to private message me and send your questions you would like answered. We can also discuss pricing. I have done a pretty deep dive on multiple websites. So I do feel I have good grasp on fair value. As for receipts on all the items I am lo\oking for the folders that would have those. I do know my father paid cash for most things Audio same with his classic 73 Trans am.

I also forget he has a Velodyne sub and castle rock speaker cable. Paid 1.3K for speaker cable is that normal? I understand wanting to keep the system to honor him but I guess what I did not say is I am keeping other pieces. I have 3 kids under 5 and I honoring him buy using this money from selling the system to pay for there college when they are older. I am still honored by everyone on here for there support and help.

I just wanted to post a little update and it’s a good one. I was able to sell the speakers and mark levinson pre amps for a really fair and honest value. I also found a note book with my audiogon dads username gafroggy so maybe one of you did business with him. As many of you mentioned not wanting to purchase from an unknown buyer. So between this info and the audiogon support team hopefully I will selling the remaining items on this site. The truth is now this community is the one I trust.
