CD/Vinyle Estate sale question

Thanks both of you for the respinse!  I will pass what both of you said to the family

i do not know if the family is going to keep the actual audio gear, the main speakers were some electrostatic speaker.... I didn’t have time to look at the brands of the various equipment.  Also not sure what they will be doing with them. .  It’s at a condo in Dayton Ohio so a medium/small size city but close to a few large cities.  

Again thanks for the help/info!!

@viggen900 - the only other thought that might make sense is to ask the family if he had any "audio buddies"-- often hobbyists consort with like-minded individuals. One of them may be able to provide more immediate guidance on the gear and records, so long as the family trusts the person and doesn't believe that they will take advantage of the situation. Good luck. 

I am one of the few idiots that buy large intact classical collections, but I am near Dallas and probably can not squeeze in the 10000 discs you have in with the 100000 I have. Dealers will come to you to cherry pick the most valuable items and then you will need to decide on how to sell the remaining 9000 discs(Craigslist,estate sale,...). Then you will probably still have 8000 and if lucky some dealer or store might offer about a dime a record. If the current owner of the collection is fortunate enough to itemize deductions on their taxes it may make better financial sense to donate the collection and take the fair market value (up to whatever cap the tax code stipulates).

I would say don't sell them to a shop with overhead there in business to make as much money as they can I've done really well with discogs and ebay best of luck
