The other day I happened to notice how much several of my larger Grateful Dead boxed sets were selling for online. I made a quick listing of those and all of the other now much pricier boxed sets, from King Crimson to classical and connected her with a close friend that sells a lot on Ebay, so he's up to speed on bids vs buy it now, shipping, making sure the buyers aren't scammers etc.
She would never listen to these boxed sets but enjoys my system enough that she would use it until she passed on, at which time, it gets sold off with proceeds going to the grandchildren and charity.
Where do you want your system to go when you go?
People think of real estate, stocks, property...etc. But I'm wondering where would my audio systems go when I go? Most in my family are happy with television and an audio system that is more like a TV or toaster. Not to be morbid, but my friends that would have cared are no longer living. There are lawyers, charitable causes and other "things" for other possessions, but I cannot see my systems going to Goodwill....etc. For us baby boomers it is a real thought. My best friend, who died of cancer, had a decent system with sperates and some Martin Logan speakers... his wife didn't care and ended up giving it all away and basically just watches TV.
What do you want to happen to your system?...hopefully many of you have people in your life that your system would mean something to them.
