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.

Becca, take your time with this, if you're too eager to be finished with it, it will cost you dearly. I get the feeling that you already realize that, stay strong.Best to you both,

Is your husband a dealer or something or just crazy?

Heavy - Good man.

Idiots abound.

Compassion vs. greed is running about 50/50 on this thread.

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.

that is a great plan, and a terrific demeanor and mindset with which to handle it - i can tell you will do just fine with all this

staying focused and purposeful in a time of loss is also the best way to get through it
