Denver used market?


My father recently passed away. He was a bit of an audiophile and had a lot of high end equipment. Among the long list are a set of 4 Quad ESL-2912's which I would love to take home, but have no room for.  I see none of these listed anywhere on the used market - and even though my Dad was a completest and kept all the original packing it seems shipping them would be difficult.

I'm curious how people deal with this. It seems like this would be the best place to list them for sale, but I'm wondering if there are any professionals in the Denver area who might be interested in having a look at his entire system. He ran Tact and NAD digital amps, Quad speakers, HDSPe AES soundcards, etc, etc.

Thanks for any advice.

@grahamk   Sorry for your loss.  As for dealers in the Denver area, I would think your best bet is to simply call a few.  Any that are not interested may be able to steer you to someone who is.  Then you may want to consult HiFi Shark web site for pricing.  They appear to have several of the Quad ESL-2912 currently listed and many that have sold.  Should give you a reasonable idea about the asking price.  Sounds like you have the original boxes so sipping should not be a concern.  Reliable outfit and fully insured.  100% payment in your bank account prior to shipment.  Stay away from PayPal IMHO.  Hope it all works out for you.  Cheers.

So sorry for your loss.  Best to you and the family.
Check out The Music Room located in CO.  They buy and consign.  

Good luck to you!

 

Condolences on your loss Graham. As far as The Music Room suggestion above I 2nd it. My best friend lives in Louisville and we went in to upgrade his ancient stereo. Not only were those guys a pleasure to deal with they seemed overjoyed to have local walk in traffic. Worth checking out at least.

Gold Sound on south Broadway also buys/sells used equipment. Sorry for your loss.
