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.

Hi,

Once you find out a good ballpark listing price for each component, definitely send all the info and pics to TMRaudio and see what they are willing to pay. They can sometimes be a bit low on some offers, but by and large are a great and painless way to buy, sell or consign your used equipment.  And they also deal with shipping costs and scheduling transport for you, which can be a pita sometimes.

For individual sales, if you enjoy not paying commissions, go the USAudiomart route. I sell everything audio on that site due to no commissions, and they seem to get more hits on stuff that is not crazy high end as well.

Sorry to hear about your troubles….hang in there.

Remind me to amend my advanced medical directive to have my gear moved with me until I'm in the ground.  And my will to bequeath it to someone who cares.

Your comment is so out of place here.  Why do you feel the need to bring negativity to a thread where lots of nice people are trying to help a lady in need with a debilitated husband?

I am actually nearby, in Lufkin, and would be interested in working with you on this.  My take on it would be to give you a fair price for the whole lot of it.  It is good that you inventory it, and there are tools that are found online that may be useful to approximate value.  Someone likely in this thread has pointed you to such a tool, something like the 'audio blue book' is the name of one such tool.

If you want to discuss this with me further, please do not hesitate to reach out.  If we can make a deal on it all, i will pay cash at time of transfer.

Sorry for your loss and I hope this liquidation goes ok for you, be careful though.

I belong to a private Facebook group called Audiophile Swap and Shop. I haven't bought or sold there yet, but this could be a good place to list at least some of your equipment. You could require that people come to you to haul the stuff away, or you could offer to ship the smaller pieces. I am planning to attempt to sell my old Thiel speakers there.
