How to dispose of your system?
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?
Since I’m single with no kids at the ripe old age of 56 I hadn’t even thought about it. But it’s definitely a thought provoking post. Guess I’ll leave it to maybe my nephews? Or maybe my stepson as he has an appreciation for it… @oddiofyl your reply made me laugh out loud about knowing how to turn it on and get music to play😂. Classic! So true…
In the meantime gonna continue to play the piss out of it and lap up every damn note! Maybe by the time I’m gone there won’t be anything left to leave😂 |
@rvpiano - seems you are somewhat addicted to worrying as reflected in your posts |
I told my kid you would have two choices either spend around 80 hours researching on how to put the system together or pay someone $500 to set it up for you. Which would probably be the absolute minimum of time or money. I think some of us may forget the educational level that we have reached putting our systems together. |
I think this is the best thread ever. My thoughts are keep all your invoices in a file that can be found after you die. At least the people who get rid of your stuff will know how much you paid for it. If you have family members, name them in your will for these items. Do not let your system be sold at an estate sale. If you have a complex estate with multiple beneficiaries the stuff may have to get appraised and likely will be sold at an estate sale and certain heirs will be very unhappy. So simply indicate who will get these individual items and it makes it so much easier and then let them figure out what they do with them at their own pleasure. Keep all your boxes of course. And make sure people know the value of all the boxes you've been keeping otherwise they'll leave them on the curb and have them picked up by recyclers which is tragic because you need the damn boxes. Make it as easy as possible for people to deal with your stuff after you leave planet Earth.
