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.

Condolences.

One of my best friends had dementia, another died with truckloads of "stuff".  A hard time.

Condolences.

Bastereo,

My condolences. 

I am starting to build a system from scratch and have an interest in purchasing some gear; I am not a dealer.

Please PM me at your convenience to discuss if interested. 

Respectfully,
Frank

Do not listen to searchingforthesound he doesn't know what he is talking about. In my 28 years in the business, we have never done what he suggests and after over 940 successful sales, never had a complaint about what he says. I know most of my competitors and they too have excellent track records.  searchingforthesound you are giving bad advice or is it you just want to get your foot in the door.

As a couple of posters above agree, stay completely away from Craigslist.  I can't emphasize that enough.

Thank you all for your good advice. You are wonderful!
Special thanks to BartS -- you actually helped me take a deep breath and decide my next steps.
Here's what I'm going to do:1.  Using Bart's suggestion, I will go through each system (he has 6, plus miscellaneous stuff) and get it all spreadsheeted, doing one system a day over the course of a week or so.2.  Locate the boxes (yes, hoarded those, too) and paperwork/manuals and match them up.3.  Get everything dusted and take photos.4.  Let you all know when I've done that and where you can locate the sheet and photos to look at. (Will park on my website on a hidden page.)5.  Then see where things go.
While I'd like it all gone tomorrow, I really do want to get back some of the value, as I've worked years paying it all off as he went along. (Note to those of you with a non-stereo spouse/significant other!) I figured if I floated the problem of getting rid of it all to you guys, you'd have good ideas. Thanks so much, and I'll be back with more details soon.
