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 understand your situation in that mine mimics yours.

They want to lay claim to my faster cars and prettier firearms, but no interest in anything in my listening room.

That said, a couple of weeks ago, my sixteen year old daughter asked me if she could listen to the album Rumours. I almost fainted. She is a big K-pop fan. So, maybe there is hope.

I don’t think that there’s any way around the fact that this hobby mostly consist of old men. My father died a few years ago and in the last few years of his life he bought over $100,000 of woodworking equipment. None of us had any interest in woodworking. We ended up having someone come in and buy the whole thing for pennies on the dollar. I suspect that’s what will happen unless you sell it off yourself.
