Open House With Audio Components

Hello, we're contemplating on putting our house on the market. I'm in a quandary as to whether I should pack up the stereo and put it away or let it be. I don't want people who come to see the house touching the components or accidentally bumping into them. What did you or what would you have done?

Best Regards/Stay Safe

Nobody  comes to see my system unless they are very good friends.

How about having an open door to the room for potential buyers to look into the room but having it roped off so they cannot enter? You can escort seriously interested buyers into the room yourself. That would save you the hassle of having to pack up your audio equipment and having to furnish that room as well.

I would agree with aewarren...have the room opened but "roped off". Have the system playing something that creates warmth and ambiance. It saves you from having to stage the room and pack the equipment, and will probably help you sell the home and, maybe, add the system into the sale price if you are so inclined...
