Old Equipment Inherited

So I am now the owner of a Counterpoint SA-11 and Audio Research SP-9. They turn on, and the tubes glow. Is there a market for this stuff? I figure shipping alone will be huge, with the SA-11.

What do you realistically do with it? Shipping would seem to make pricing prohibitive. Is this just a Craigslist and hope for the best?

The B&W 801 FS speakers are so huge, I think these are another albatross. No idea how you would ship these!

The Counterpoint SA-20/20 went in the trash because, let's face it, 65lbs, with some kind of fault (power LED indicating fault) and no one knows how to work it....

It is older gear now but there is a market for it, even when shipping is expensive. You should put it up for auction IMO. and figure the cost of shipping, as needed, to serious bidders.

Craigslist may be the best for a quick local sale but I hope your skin is thick. You will encounter even more tire kickers than here. Even if you were to list them at a fair MV price be ready to people to even ask for more of a discount. Then you get the numb nuts that will ask Still Available on CL? I've sold some stuff on Craigslist but around me there are a lot of degenerates to deal with.

You could get some money for all that gear either by listing them here on Audiogon, Craigslist or Ebay but just be ready. On any listing put local pick up only or make the buyer arrange for shipping. There is a market for all the stuff you mentioned.

If you've never had any internet selling account I'd advise you to hold on and sell some cheap stuff first such as CDs, records, books and build your feedback first before selling these components. This way they will potentially bring you more funds.
