Do any of you kids , want your system ???


Gents: 

I’ve experienced a buy/sell of my giant speakers

anyway, As we are an older Demographic 

2 questions: 

1) if you go to audiophile Heaven,  do any of your kids want your Hifi ?
    I asked that , over Christmas, and caught a defeating silence and laugh “ no” frickin way
    Way to big !!!  And lots of laughs over the conversation 
2) when that time comes , How does anybody get rid of all the Hifi stuff ?         Does the spouse?   Cuss you out and sell for $5 a garage sale ?   My guess; it’s a lot of work to sell correctly ?   My wife answer was enlightening!!!
It’s an ugly/funny question , But I’m really wondering how it happens

My paternal grandfather had a floor model Victrola.

I wanted it in the worst way and asked him about it.  He told me if my father didn't it would be mine someday.  He passed when I was 10 and I figured we would move it very soon.  Next time we went to his house only two weeks or so later my $^%#&*#$# cousin had thrown it out!  

Grandfather loved it, father didn't want it, grandson wanted it...grandson's (me) children have no desire to have any of my gear.  Go figure.

Maybe if I live long enough to have grandkids...nah. Fugeddaboutit. 
@tvad  Sad, isn't it?  And, I just moved (downsized) and really have no place to set them up other than the (now air-conditioned) garage, but with two cars there...

I just don't know what to do.  I also have a beautiful Guild 12-string all maple, arched back with gold hardware that I love--not that old, bought in the 1980's or early 90's--have to check the serial number as I forget.

The Ludwig's were purchased on the same day in 1969, as I remember but I can check the serial numbers, from one store and a complete set.  I wanted another color, but he had a champagne sparkle Hollywood set that spoke to me, so cymbals, stands, cases, everything in one day.  Unfortunately, I got a real job right after that, the band broke up, and I  never really gigged with it, so it remains just as it was when I bought it, probably like your Vistalite's.  Oh, well, what are we going to do?

Someone else will just have to love the set when I sell it--EVENTUALLY!

Can't part with it yet, or the C-2, or the Guild, or the Strat, or...you get it.

I MIGHT sell the factory-refurbished, still in the shipping box Magneplaner I-C's and the AR EC-21 that was made for them.  Not yet, though...

Decisions!
Really?  What does he want MC?

As crazy as it may seem to you now, but when you grow up there comes a point when girls are no longer yucky. Usually.
