Why don't you just end the suspense & tell us what you have?

okay ayre electronics, vandersteen 5's, shinyata, appropriate cables,

Looks like a nice system, why not try both sales approaches simultaneously, at least until someone buys an individual component?

Bluebook prices are generally highly inaccurate. While the Audiogon feed of auction data may be more accurate the reported numbers, it is still best to look at completed e-Bay data. If Bluebook/Audiogon wanted to improve their coverage they would track and include e-Bay data, and not charge for viewing. In the end, 'market' is the best way to go.

Piece it out and sell it on Sound Offers or U.S. Audiomart where you won't be robbed of extra fees when sold. And, you'll be able to communicate with the buyer before you sell.
