Help- audiophile husband just dies

Dear Julie,

First, I wish to offer you my deepest condolences on the passing of your husband and am sorry for your loss.

Secondly, I wanted to mention that I am also local to Philadelphia, located in Wynnewood, and would be happy to assist in any way I can.  I’ve been buying and selling used audio gear for over 35 years and used to sell it at retail many years ago.

Recently, I’ve been helping a good friend sell off his high end audio collection as he and his wife are looking to downsize into smaller quarters.  I will send you an email to introduce myself and give you my contact information.  
As several had suggested, multiple pictures and a list of gear is the place to start and then you can figure out selling options from there.  There are several options to sell without fees & I also have a network of local audiophile friends as well that may be able to help in the disposition of these assets.  
Again, so sorry for your loss.

IT IS SO GREAT TO SEE THIS COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER TO HELP.   ALL OUR BEST TO YOU JULIE AND TO YOUR FAMILY

Call Brian at Hideaway Music in the Chestnut Hill area of Philadelphia.  He deals in used hi fi equipment and will bevery fair.

There is another consideration here. What this lady may want is just a few options of what to do with this equipment. She just lost her husband. She may want to simply know what it’s worth and move it out in one fell swoop. I helped a lady who one time in the past to sell they a large collection of her husband‘s 78 RPMs. She didn’t want the nightmare of trying to sell everything individually. Imagine the nightmare of her trying to sell each piece individually. All she really asked for was the value of the equipment. That could include the original price, the present retail and the average selling price individually. Money may or may not be her top priority. It is very nice to see so many Good Samaritans offer her advice. We don’t however want to give her a giant headache by encouraging her to take on a project she isn’t prepared to handle.
