SELLING IT ALL

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. 

Hi,

Once you find out a good ballpark listing price for each component, definitely send all the info and pics to TMRaudio and see what they are willing to pay. They can sometimes be a bit low on some offers, but by and large are a great and painless way to buy, sell or consign your used equipment.  And they also deal with shipping costs and scheduling transport for you, which can be a pita sometimes.

For individual sales, if you enjoy not paying commissions, go the USAudiomart route. I sell everything audio on that site due to no commissions, and they seem to get more hits on stuff that is not crazy high end as well.

Sorry to hear about your troubles….hang in there.

Remind me to amend my advanced medical directive to have my gear moved with me until I'm in the ground.  And my will to bequeath it to someone who cares.
