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.

I like several others here have a family that have zero interest in my audio and to go a step further neither of my kids want basically anything in the house.  Hard to believe my son who is a car guy doesn't even want his choice of several Corvettes! The most baffling part to me is that he doesn't even want some of his grandfather's (who he is named after) things.  Not crappy stuff either. 

My daughter will get some beautiful heirloom jewelry.

In my kids defense I will say they are very busy with big-time jobs. Good for them.  

So, I'm going to start selling guns (not all mind you), tools, tool boxes, car parts and motorcycles. The Corvettes stay 'till the end as well the stereo. I probably have ten good years left in me (69 now).

My solution to the stereo "problem" is I have identified two audiophiles close by...one will take the speakers and the other the electronics and keep what they want, sell what they don't.

So, possibly find an Audio Society near you, make some new friends and see if they are willing to help.
