How to dispose of your system?

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. 

Let TMR turn it into cash.

They get a cut but do the job, no hassles, no worries. 

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. 

My biggest fear is the wife selling all my gear for what I told her I paid for it. 🤣

My own designs for a farewell is a 'mantra' well known to Loved Ones - Remember You were all very very Loved - Fire Up the Digger - Cut the Hole down by the Dogs place of rest - Drop Me In - Drop the HiFi on Top - Drop In any other Crap I've collected and done all your heads in and is no longer to be tolerated - Backfill - My strong advice to Family - No matter what circumstances surround my departure - It is a result of current Living - Let It Be, I F**king Mean It, Let It Be.

I will then have left the 7 Billion of Us currently alive on the Planet and will have joined the estimated 117 Billion who had their time, of which (my calc's) approx' 100+Billion would not have known an electronic device, let alone an Audio System.

Material Items, are as a design, a very very disposable commodity. If one wants to reach outside of such an ingrained mindset, the Circular Economy is a great place to become familiar with.
