SELLING IT ALL

Hi, all: I am in East Texas. My husband has so much equipment I can’t even spreadsheet it all. He is now in a nursing home with dementia and will not be coming home. I want to sell all the equipment, and am a motivated seller. Some of the brands: Marantz, Bryston, Linn Klout, Linn Kairn, Linn Magic, Linn Keil, Parasound, Theil, Klipsch, Polk Audio, Cambridge, Audio Research. Then lower end stuff like Sony, Yamaha, Onkyo, Teac, etc. Miles of cables/interconnects (Audio Magic, Audio Quest, Toslink, and others -- hard to inventory. Best ones are not on this list because they are behind equipment.) Lots of power wedges. DACs, power conditioners, and misc. other stuff like racks.
it.

douglas_schroeder " You will do MUCH, MUCH better doing so than selling to some liquidator or estate sale company!"

I have owned a high-end stereo store and now currently own an estate sale company. I take issue with your statement. The OP needs someone to inspect the items for sale and determine the operational condition. In our business, after that has been determined, a reasonable, researched price will be assigned to each item. This is how we do business weather it is a power amp, Stickley furniture, Tiffany lamps or a '97 Toyota Camry.

 I really want it ALL GONE, and will be throwing in freebies for good buyers.

Only two words in all caps. I tend to think that means something.

Yes, there is a closed data base of estate sale providers of over 1600 in the USA. I have posted a request there.

I do not recommend The Music Room (TMR). They are a middle man so they give no where near Audiogon Bluebook value or eBay sold listing value for your gear. I have gone to them twice looking to do a deal with them. Others apparently like them. I guess they are ok if you don’t care about fair value and just want someone to give you something to take your gear from you. But for me, I much prefer selling my gear myself. I agree with the recommendations of posting for free on usaudiomart and specifying local pickup. Sorry to hear about your husband, OP. My father in law went through the same battle.
