Hypothetical question.


A lot of us are getting to the age where  we may start thinking about what will happen to our precious systems when we’re gone?  Will they be sold in pieces, breaking up the synergy we’ve worked so hard to establish? That seems to me to be criminal.  
What about trying to sell the whole system, kit and kaboodle, maybe to a member of this forum? Would anyone, perhaps a novice, be willing to pay for a very finely tuned instrument? 
If the system cost say,  $35K to put together, what would a fair price be?

I have an agreement with my dealer that when I kick the bucket that he will come over and remove my system and my record collection and give the proceeds to my partner. 

Audio system packages tend to be of little interest to most people. When have you ever seen one advertised and thought to yourself, "now that's exactly what I would have done"? For me, the answer is never. And just because a system has synergy to your ears in your room is no guarantee it will be magic in another environment.

At least when you build your system over time you know when you introduce a new component if it's a good fit. It might take a lot of trial and error to get it right, but that's half the fun.

My system is low cost...

None of my children use audio...

My wife joked she will put my stone and minerals collections as dirt for the car...

For the system , it will go  to the poor  store  who give it for few bucks...

It is a pity...

but i dont think about that ...

My wife and I are getting rid of stuff so our kids won't have to deal it when we go. I'll probably try to sell off my modest system before i go to assisted living. I'll probably be using a 1980's boombox we bought at an estate sale.
