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.

I don't care. It's just stuff. "Stuff" isn't important. I've made a list of the value of all my stuff that's worth selling, and the best and easiest places to offload it, so my heirs can get appropriate cash for it if they don't want it. But I don't have any sentimental attachment to toys, and if I did, I'd be dead anyway, so the sentimentality would die with me, so I really don't worry about what happens to my stuff.

There was a cartoon in some mag (Playboy, etc>?)  that showed a guy getting to heaven and seeing people driving around in great sports cars wtth multiple young women in the car and the caption was:

"I just always assumed you couldn't take it with you".

I don't know anyone who wants it, few who appreciate it.  It seems that must people think it's an odd hobby like collecting common objects (like forks?).  So, I expect it will end up in the local landfill.  I'll be dead so I won't care.  Until then I'll continue to enjoy my music and whatever enhancement the system adds to that enjoyment.
