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.

The music room is the best and easiest choice. I bought and sold over $20,000 worth of stuff in the past few years. Very nice people and they also sent me Spreadsheet of all the transactions.
Condolences on your situation.   Been through it with relatives and neighbors.

I might be interested in some of the Bryston gear if you would like to PM me.

Hello, Selling it All. My deepest sympathy for what you and your family are going through. 
When you do get the list together,  can you post a link here,  seems like he's collected some good stuff. Please keep us informed.  Thank you.
Sorry for your situation.  There is a Blue Book on Audiogon.  It will take some effort but I would suggest taking an inventory and finding prices associated with your husbands equipment.  While there are many honorable audiophiles out there in the world, there are also some unscrupulous people that will definitely take advantage of your situation.  Probably the best way to get the most money is to post the products on Audiogon or US Audiomart.  You will need a few pictures and some basic information.  This is very easy and I am sure there are at least a few Youtubes out there on how to do this.  It would be very similar to selling on Ebay.  You could also list the items on Ebay.  If you don't want to go that route, I would still suggest getting at least some idea of the value from the Audiogon Blue book.  Then if you work with someone to liquidate all of it, at least you will know if they are being fair or not with their offer.
I recognize the hassel in shipping equipment and the desire to get rid of it, but (and I am making an assumption here)  as a woman living alone, Do you really want the traffic for this amount of equipment and music in your home or the need to always have a friend or relative with you when shoppers show up.    I would take photos and list the pieces with an individual price or as a set.   Make shiping costs an addition covered by the buyer.   Consignment and liquidators won't get you the buck some of this equipment would garner on the audiophile market.  It seems to come down to a bit of a hassel either way, but one that can bring significant renumeration to you for the effort.   If you just want it Gone then a liquidator route is the best approach.
