Selling my dads top of the line system

Sorry for the loss first. Why are you selling it? If you do not need the money then keep it and listen with  your father in mind. If you need the money then fair enough. It is beautiful gear and will provide you much enjoyment over the years. Kids learn not to touch things.  It was mist likely a big part of your dads life.

Good luck going forward. 

my dad is still kicking . And i have a couple guitar amps of his . My kids will get them. Its a tangible part of the desires he had in his life . And at any time i can turn them on and hear him . .. anyways i dont know the circumstances or how much he even liked his system . Tough choice. I know i couldnt do it . 

To the OP: I deeply sympathize with you, and wish you all possible peace. My own father passed away recently, and I found myself in a very similar situation to yours. I applaud your efforts to honor your father’s legacy. I have attempted to do the same. 

To the Agon community: as I approach the onset of my own mortality, I find myself wondering if it would be possible to establish a database of our hi-if (or otherwise) holdings, if for no other reason, to quantify and valuate our personal collections. This may help to ease the burden of our heirs when it comes to the sad reality of liquidating our estates. Is this even  a viable notion? I would love to be able to give my son an email or PM address to reach out to when I am gone, to ensure that my carefully curated collection might find a worthy home, without him having to go through an exhaustive education process. I realize that this may sound a bit morbid, but I feel strongly that such a database might very well provide a measure of peace for those charged with the dissolution of a loved one’s possessions. I welcome your thoughts.

traveldonkey sorry for your loss. I agree with what 8th notes writes.

actaman, your musings on establishing a database of owned gear resonates with me. I often wonder what will happen to my guitar collection after I'm gone. Will anyone know the value of my 50's Telecaster or will it wind up in trash somewhere. Similar for my hi-fi gear. 
I believe the best option may be to catalog things like this in a letter to your heirs, along with how to sell them for best value, and a short note perhaps about why the piece was meaningful to you. Keep the letter in a place it will be found in the event. But your idea is good too.

@Traveldonkey; based on your 7/26 post that you are "keeping some of the other pieces" of your Dad's system, it sounds to me like you've figured out a way to make this a "win - win" situation for you. I was wondering if your Dad had an Audiogon account that you could use to sell the remaining items? 

What no one has mentioned so far is that seller with "low" or "zero" transaction/feedback rating can be a red flag for some potential buyers. Perhaps this is an issue that Tammy @  Audiogon customer support can help you with.
