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.

Sorry for your loss. Musicroom is going to take a significant cut and.... they are gonna list it on Audiogon anyway.... Hence, list it directly on Audiogon for local pickup and try your luck.

Ime, Hifiheaven, dealer based out of Wisconsin had a history of providing significant trade-in value on things (not gip you too much, like the rest of them), if you were to buy something from him.

So sorry for your loss.

USaudiomart is another place that changes nothing to run an add. And like others have said, don’t ship until the money is in the bank!

All the best.

There’s a great dealer on South Broadway called Aural HiFi who would either purchase outright or sell on consignment. Their number is (720) 432-0373.

They sold my Sonus Faber Extremas and Marantz 9 tube amplifiers and realized some great prices  

 

Currently in the Audio Blue Book your speakers are valued at $5412 in a private party sale, $4050 on a trade in value per pair.  Hope this helps.  Sorry about your father.

Aural HiFi in downtown Denver. Call or go by and ask for Jeremy, the owner. You can also ask for Tony.
