Selling Estate Audio stuff, advice, CHICAGO

I'm in charge of liquidating a relative's estate, and there's a bit of audio equipment that needs to be sold. Not too old, not too shabby, but I'm not a fan of listing on FaceBook Marketplace. Does anyone have an audio place that will buy gently used stereo stuff, or where should I post it as "for sale"? I can provide better details tomorrow, after I get some photos of specs. These items are offsite from where I live.

I've got:
  • 2 Martin Logan Motion series floor speakers, black lacquer, ~48" tall
  • 2 Wharfedale bookshelf speakers, walnut
  • Stereo receiver, maybe a few years old, has Bluetooth, I don't have brand/model handy
  • Smart TV, 42", Samsung, I think
  • Samsung Sound bar and Subwoofer
also available:
  • canon pro image 1000, with inks and maintenance pack
  • Epson scanner
  • Brother B&W printer
Thanks!

You might want to try the Gear Liquidation thread in the Tech Room.

there or decibel. the decibel guys are really nice. i have bought stuff at both places, though.

the martin logans would be desired by them, i reckon.

wharfedales vary a lot in quality/price. if new, they go for close to 1k or more, them too for SAE/decibel. cheaper, maybe not.

TVs highly variable also based on price point. The printers, wherever you can get rid of them.

Thanks, wasn't sure if this kind of "gear" qualified for that forum.

  • Saturday Audio Exchange is definitely on my radar.
  • I'll have to research decibel.
  • Yeah, TV isn't gonna be worth a ton, but maybe with the articulating wall mount and the external speaker and subwoofer, I could do okay, if I bundle it.
  • The Brother printer will go very cheap. The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 17" Photo Printer, low usage, should get minimum $750
Thank you for the suggestions, and wish me luck!
