What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?


I am typing up a document with all details of my system components and cables with approximate values.  No one else in the family knows anything about high end audio.  I suggested they sell the gear at US Audiomart.  What should I suggest they do with the vinyl and digital discs in my reasonably large collection?  I want them to get to others who can enjoy them when I no longer can. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

@ross6860 -- Amen on the fishing gear.  One son will go with me if I ask, the other son couldn't catch a cold.  The son that will fish only knows how to use a spinning reel....kind of.  I've left my wife written instructions on what to do with my beloved Lews Speed Spool baitcasting reels (many from the 1970's), Falcon Custom rods, antique lures (many MY grandfather used), and boats.

 

As far as the high end stereo gear, vinyl, and CD's, expect what I see with the valuable riverfront farm land I grew up around in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia -- your body will barely be in the ground before your children are selling it.  With an acre selling for $20,000 or more, a family farm with 100 to 200 acres on a river is a goldmine today.  I see it every year around my farm -- doctors wanting to live in "the country" buying 2 or 3 acres and building million dollar plus estates with river views.  Real Estate developers descend on the heirs even before the "old man or Ma" die. 

 

All your heirs care about is cash.  Sad, but true.
