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.

@bastereo....My sympathies are with you at this time...but the best advice imho is to contact Tammy here @ AG for perhaps an unbiased interest in your issue...and a path forward...

Good luck, stay strong...J

Becca - again well wishes for you and your husband. Since you now do plan to catalog please do consider listing on audiogon. I would strongly advise auction or the ability to accept an offer only after viewing feedback.  You can already see fins in the water. Grace and peace.

Also while it is true that Music room takes a cut, they also take risk as I assume you don’t know the history of repair, modification or current condition of all this gear.

Disclosure - I have bought / sold gear to / from TMR, no ongoing financial or business interest w them.

Sorry for your loss, we have experienced the same thing. I would also caution against using an estate liquidator. A friend lost both her parents and used an estate liquidator who promised a certain fee, then he had his crew quickly load the parents's items and then tell our friend the items weren't  worth as much as first offered. Since the items were loaded on the truck, and the friend was worn out and grieving she took the offer, only to realize after she got her wits back about her  that she had been take to the cleaners. My suggestion is to find a friend or family member that is willing to do some research and find what is in your best interest. Good Luck
