I say melt it all down in the form of a casket, then you really can take it with you!😁
What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?
I am typing up a document with all details of my system components and cables with approximate values. No one else in the family knows anything about high end audio. I suggested they sell the gear at US Audiomart. What should I suggest they do with the vinyl and digital discs in my reasonably large collection? I want them to get to others who can enjoy them when I no longer can. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I don't worry about what my family will do with my stuff. My wife and kid hate music (yes, it is true). I will, as time passes, watch for a younger man who has genuine interest in this type of stuff. Yes, they ARE out there. I will make sure he gets it, lock, stock and barrel at zero cost. Same with my prodigious watch collection. Of course if I get run over by a bus tomorrow, I am sure my 3,000 CD collection will be on the curb before I am even cold. Point is, I am indifferent if my family makes any money on my stuff. I am more interested in somebody younger who might not be able to afford what I have and would be pleased to have it and maybe think about me from time to time. I imagine guys with big ham radio rigs wonder about these things too.

In your specific case @timintexas, what a great offering that would be. Wonderful post by the way. |

Sadly I will say that there is probably NO ONE in my family that will benefit form my 2100 album collection and similarly NO ONE in my family would have any clue how to reconnect my equipment so that it could produce any kind of quality sound. Even my neighbors! I had one neighbor a few months back that when I asked about DONATING some speaker cables when upgrading, she said that she didn’t know that ANYONE even made stereos that had separate speakers anymore. This is the society which we have created. |
