SELLING IT ALL

Hi, all: I am in East Texas. My husband has so much equipment I can’t even spreadsheet it all. He is now in a nursing home with dementia and will not be coming home. I want to sell all the equipment, and am a motivated seller. Some of the brands: Marantz, Bryston, Linn Klout, Linn Kairn, Linn Magic, Linn Keil, Parasound, Theil, Klipsch, Polk Audio, Cambridge, Audio Research. Then lower end stuff like Sony, Yamaha, Onkyo, Teac, etc. Miles of cables/interconnects (Audio Magic, Audio Quest, Toslink, and others -- hard to inventory. Best ones are not on this list because they are behind equipment.) Lots of power wedges. DACs, power conditioners, and misc. other stuff like racks.
it.

What tvad said. Will answer questions with integrity and is one of the most transparent and helpful people I've done business with. Yes, a class act.

I also recommend US/Canuck Audio Marts, it's free to post and sell. I've been doing that on there for years. Audiogon is a natural as well.

@bastereo Make sure that you can prove to that IRS that you are not making a profit from the sale of your gear. especially if you use PayPal and sell each item separately. PayPal sometimes send the IRS info on money transfers if they think you are a business.

If you do not have the sales receipt, I would just look up the MSRP and record it in some document before you sell anything.

Dear Texas Lady, I know you just want it GONE. BUT, are you at least aware of the value of the items in general anyway? Some husbands aren't truthful about the cost of many of our "toys" as they're brought into the house. You could be sitting on $25,000., maybe only $5000.00. You might want to know. I hope you find a good Samaritan to help you out. I've been called on to help out on several estates. I was prepared to do whatever the seller wanted. I never took a dime. God bless, Joe
