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.

I am sorry to hear about your Dad.  Please be very careful selling the gear, you really should have an experienced person to help you. 

If the cash was not absolutely needed, as other have suggested, think about keeping it for yourself. 

Good luck whatever path you take.

I bought Revel Salon 1 used 20 years ago. I rented a pickup truck and drove 4 hours to Los Angeles to pick them up. I had a certified check for $10K and gave it to the seller in person after I saw the speakers were in the condition I wanted.

Very sorry about your dad's passing. I'm only a few hours away and would be interested in the Salon 2s. They would need to be piano black and in very good condition. How many of 8th-notes questions can you answer? A fair price can be determined once those answers are at hand :) Thanks, Jim

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.
