Selling my dads top of the line system


My father just passed of a stroke suddenly. He was very big in the audio game. He as Revel Ultima Salon 2 speakers, 2 mark levinson model 536 pre apps, Mcintosh C50 pre amp, Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD blue ray player, at least 3 Audio quest water cabels, 2 or more viper power cables. This is what I know of that he currently has hooked up. What is my best option for selling it? Should I bundle it together, or piece it out? He loved his system so I don’t just want to sell it for nothing, but honor his memory and make sure the system finds a good home. If I did not have 3 kids  Home audio stores by me have been no help. Its all in premium shape, with the boxes, manuals, and remotes.

First off, I'm sorry for your loss. I can assure you that whoever buys your Dad's equipment will appreciate something that good. I'm sure you have a lot of your plate right now, so if you are pressed for time The Music Room (TMR Audio) might be your best option. They give you the option to sell an item(s) to them for cash or they will sell it on consignment (which will net you more money.......but, still not as much as selling it on Audiogon yourself). And, they will research what the asking price should be, which can be a lot of work.

They advertise most of their items here on Audiogon, as well as their own site; so, chances are someone from the Audiogon community will end up buying it and appreciating it. Best of luck!
I agreed that Actaman has a very good idea. I hope someone will pursue it and make it a reality.
@Traveldonkey; based on your 7/26 post that you are "keeping some of the other pieces" of your Dad's system, it sounds to me like you've figured out a way to make this a "win - win" situation for you. I was wondering if your Dad had an Audiogon account that you could use to sell the remaining items? 

What no one has mentioned so far is that seller with "low" or "zero" transaction/feedback rating can be a red flag for some potential buyers. Perhaps this is an issue that Tammy @  Audiogon customer support can help you with.
