Nice thread. In same boat.
It would be great to give our precious well cared for vinyl to a fellow enthusiast at our passing. Perhaps hiring someone to sell on Discogs then split proceeds with the heirs. Or if Discogs has a program to give cash at 70% of market value, or use somebody on Agon as a clearing house.
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.

You never know the time. I was "perfectly healthy" other than high blood pressure (which I've had for 30 years and controlled with meds), biking 18 miles a day, walking two miles every evening, lifting weights, working on the garden, etc. Blood work was always good or at worst, borderline. Right up to my emergency by-pass surgery. Just because you are relatively young and appear in good health, you never know... Just glad to still be here. |
Like thecarpathian, I’m also a bit skeptical of your exercise regimen: I’m thrilled that I keep up with 50 miles of bike riding per week, or 2,500 per year. That said, I also don’t eat junk, I have a glass of red wine a day. Nevertheless, I have to have an angiogram next week 😡, they suspect sufficient blockage in the Widow-maker to require a stent. I somehow never got covid, but I’ve had three bouts of chest tightness since the start of covid, the first two being episodic lasting a minute here and there for a month then going away, but the current one episodic since November. Heart trouble does run in both sides of my family. My niece likes vinyl records, I’m figuring leaving the audio system and the LPs to her, or just selling it all when I’m 100 and going deaf. |
