old guy needs to down size...medical diagnosis
03/11/20 at 17:54:58
 
any recommendations or help/advice would be appreciated. This long term decware fan has amps, preamps, connects, phono amps, power conditioners, speakers, speaker cables, stands, many tubes, most nos, top quality stuff....I don't want to give this equipment away but would rather have have it go to friends, aquaintences, and enthusiasts  here first.  It will take me a week to put a list together.  My first priority is to make this as easy as possible but don't know whether to predetermine/set prices with mininums or go to the highest bidder?...shipping has to be simple as well as payment.  My son and wife won't/can't make sense of this complexity even though he has decware equipment...he has little time and  a multitude of projects and I don't want to burden him/them with this task....I have two local audio retailers who know me well and both have been advised and will be there to either buy or put on consignment.  I am overwhelmed with doctor appointments, evaluations, trips to UW madison cancer care then after that treatment locally in Rockford IL.  Add to this is drug choices, prescriptions, transportation ( I can't drive now).  I am only 90 miles from suburban Chicago and the same from Madison so there always is the oportunity to visit and take a look and take the purchase(s) with you...thanks in advance for your help and advice.
Dave

Dave I feel for you. I pray for a cure. You need a list of what you would like to sell and people could make offers from there. If you have a ZMA, I would be interested in one. Smiley

Life is so challenging. My partner, she is having some major issues too. I feel for you.

If you are able to put a list together though, I might be interested in the speaker cables or tts.

Best wishes and blessings to you,

Scott

Dave, sorry for what you are going through; but please don’t sell everything. Keep some equipment for yourself so that after you long appointments you can come home, relax and play some music to sooth your soul. Listening to good music is part of the recovery process. Stay strong my friend.

Dave,

I'm very sorry to hear about your health issues. I'm sure you'll find a good home with posters here, should you decide to sell some equipment. Wishing all the best with your upcoming doctor visits, treatments, and necessary life adjustments.

Hello Dave, I also would be interested in some of your items.  If still available.  Mainly, your ZP3 Phono amp and possibly some Decware speaker cables.  Take Care.

I'd potentially be interested as well, but most importantly Dave, I hope you are doing well. It has been 6 months since your initial post and I hope in that time health and peace have come to you.

Thanks,
Richard

Hello, Dave.
I did not see this until today. If you are still asking for: "any recommendations or help/advice would be appreciated."

I would say, As you are "overwhelmed with doctor appointments, evaluations, trips to UW madison cancer care"; I advise: turn the whole mess over to the  "two local audio retailers who know me well and both have been advised and will be there to either buy or put on consignment."

There is no need for you to be bothered with this.
I hope this is helpful, Brian

Hi,
I'm in Madison, WI and always looking for gear. Good luck with your health first and talk to me about the audio stuff when you have the opportunity.

Best,
Tim

I second Brian's emotion. Then you can post the dealer's information so the people here can contact him if they are interested in anything. You don't need to be bothered with selling shit when you are fighting for a decent quality of life.

Young man ... NEVER give in ... like they say 'the music never dies'  

                        FENDENDAZOLE        *ills ca*cer

You need to research, and take this cheap YET effective pet "worm" treatment for $5+/month.

Except a gift if helps you, and I know IT WILL :-}}

and you can keep your gear and stop visiting the what I call WHITE coat mafia who will take away your LAST chance to be your OWN healer and doctor.
