What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?

A while ago I worked on my Music Collector software and cataloged my vinyl collection according to genre. I have been keeping track of my records on this software for quite a long time but I decided that the time had come to add ratings and subjective value to each album. I am doing this for my two sons who I am leaving the collection with when the time comes. Naturally I have added comments to some of the records in the data base explaining why this particular album has more value than others. Things like that. Both the boys love music and have been listening to my rantings all of their lives. I know they probably don't want or need these things of mine but if they end up with them I am pretty sure they will use and keep as it goes. For this reason I have also thought of selling the whole mess. I know they wouldn't care. They will be fine if they get them and fine if they don't. 

My system worth over $100k and not easy just to pack up and sell. At least for my family. I would tell my family to have my dealer to pick up everything, I don’t care how much less my family would get. At least they don’t need to deal with it. 
 

as my vinyl & CD collection, they are precious to me and worthless to most ppl. Even I have a lot of special editions and collectibles, I would give them to charity. 

@richardmathes there are cheap bar code scanners that can be used with different software products.  I used a $20 one for a program called Readerware Music.  I found it much easier to scan into a queue and then let the program go find the listing on discogs or amazon, rather than manually enter them in discogs, which still has no bulk upload function as far as I have seen.  This program can export as well.  This does not guarantee a match though, as imported albums or cds will not always match upc codes and older records ('50's-'70s) generally don't have one but a publisher/label id instead.

I like the idea of selling to a dealer.  There are a couple channels on youtube that are store owners that sometimes report "good hauls" and actively buy and sell off collections.  But it would still be worth it to leave someone a rough estimate of value if we are talking collections with a built in value, limited audiophile releases and the like or rare pressings that were or became investments.  cheers

Easy pathway here. Enjoy it as long as you can. "Don't worry, be happy." Your kids don't want it. Fine. You can't keep it. So, fine again. Be useful with it after you can no longer use it your self.

My kid listens from his phone through cheap earbuds. He's happy with his apple music and spotify - and I'm happy to see him happy with it. And grateful when he wants to share a tune or two. He has other ways to spend his time for fun beyond fretting over what wire might sound better....that's MY kind of fun!

"It" (your collected goodies) can still be useful when it's no longer useful for your enjoyment even if transformed into something else.....like cash. Sounds like you probably have an estate executor (I'm guessing here). I've seen gear auctions as part of an estate plenty of times. Just leave directions in your will and have your lawyer or audiopal or whoever take care of it for whatever cut they want if you're in some other environment. Make a list of what you think they're worth - should be pretty quick and easy. Especially if you keep in mind it doesn't matter since you'll be dead and your kids don't care.

It seems pretty solvable and definitely not worth fretting over. It's just stuff afterall - BUT, it's stuff that can benefit somebody or organization.

Keep it simple - what's the beef here? Why not donate the music to a a school or library? Or a nursing home? They can keep what they believe others will enjoy and sell or discard the rest. Same with your 100K system - have the executor auction or sell it off and give the money to an organization or entity that is in need an desire and wants to (and will) make use of your unwanted things.

For crying out loud.

And, if nobody wants your guns, break them into little useless pieces. You never know, you might save a life.

One idea is to search your area for donation options.  Check out what a collection sparked here in Memphis.  They continue to accept donations. They keep new additions that are in good condition and have sales of the rest to help fund their operations.  Egglestonworks has their speakers in a dedicated listening room and the stations all have VPI turntables.
