Don't tell your family to hold their breath for a big cash windfall.
Our LP collections are not worth what we think they should be.Never will be. Same goes for the audio gear. A very small(and shrinking) group of buyers will always be around, but like ANYTHING, its a niche market.
You"re at the mercy of the buyer, who is in the drivers seat.
Those people finding out they have an AMAZING piece of something on the Antiques Roadshow, experience the same realization.
An unsealed, Brit Parlophone Beatles, Blue Note,RCA etc...are not going to put your kids through college, or make a house down payment. It may help a little bit, but that's about it.
Best to instill the sentimental value with your family, and enjoy them.
