Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest?

Hey all, I have recently acquired a fairly extensive setup/collection from a family member who passed. I am looking to move on from nearly everything in the collection, and have been planning to sell through audiogon.

Is this the best way to go? Is there a local place to talk to someone directly in the pacific northwest? Shipping all of this very expensive equipment (lampizator golden gate 2, several high end carts, speakers, tone arms, etc.) seems risky btu willing to do it if it's my best option. Is it better to try to do this locally?

Even better, anyone in the northwest want to take a look?

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post, new to this site.

I received an email from Echo today. It announced the closing of the shop for a remodel/make-over, which will take a few months. During that time they will still be doing online business. The shop was sold to a new owner a year go, but the old owner has remained involved. The email also announced the old owner will now be leaving.

I just sold a mint McIntosh MC300 power amp on eBay a month ago. I contacted Audio Classics in NY and they offered me $1,000 with me paying the shipping from WI AND the offer was subject to inspection of the amp after they received it. Hmmm.  
So I listed it on eBay for $2,999. I figured AC would mark up their cost 3X so I started there. I had it sold for $2,475 in just 7 days. Net after the eBay commission was about $2,100. And to make it even better, the buyer was local. Just 15 minutes from me so he came and picked it up. 
So you might want to try that route. Remember, you’re not obligated to accept any offers. Just a thought.
