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?

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.

I hope my wife sells it and reaps the benefits - maybe goes on a nice vacation.  Someone else can enjoy it and she’ll get some needed cash.  I won’t care as I’ll be in audio nirvana.

Are they inheriting your room as well?  And would they enjoy the system as you did having not undergone the discovery process of assembling it?

  A novice imo should have their own discovery process, not buy the end result ready made.

 

   Your heirs should be allowed to get as much money as they can for each component to compensate them for the work involved in disposing of your stuff 

More to discover
