Need idea for a New Year sale

Options
I still have some odds and ends to get rid of. However, I am not giving these away, but won't try to get every penny for them either. I could use some ideas for how to present them for sale, but with a karma feeling. A good deal for all concerned.

Hardware is
Bryston BDP-1 digital file player
Bryston BDA-1 DAC
Bryston BDA-2 DAC

I am sure I have a Shunyata Anaconda digital cable to connect the file player to the DAC, and I might have three Shunyata Zitron power cords to use with these dudes.

New these each cost in the $2K-$3K range. Even the cables are at least $1K.

So, how should I offer these for sale?

Quote a price?
Start a raffle?
Make me an offer?

This is good audiophile quality gear, and will be a nice addition for many. I have another BDP-1 along with an Auralic Vega DAC in my HT, and I have no problem with the sound. The Vega is only a hair better than the BDA-2 DAC.

So, who wants some digital in 2017?
Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable
Sony XA-5400ES SACD; Pass XP-22 pre; X600.5 amps
Magico S5 MKII Mcast Rose speakers; SPOD spikes

Shunyata Triton v3/Typhon QR on source, Denali 2000 (2) on amps
Shunyata Sigma XLR analog ICs, Sigma speaker cables
Shunyata Sigma HC (2), Sigma Analog, Sigma Digital, Z Anaconda (3) power cables

Mapleshade Samson V.3 four shelf solid maple rack, Micropoint brass footers
Three 20 amp circuits.

    Anything sold here must have a price listed. No auctions or best offers per the rules.

    I think I will do a quasi-karma in the Clubhouse. The idea is bouncing around in the head, so I need to finalize it.

    Donate it all to my son's new audio rig. I am still debating on speakers for him though. Would Nola Audio Grands be overkill for a newborn?

    Obviously, you've been here under a different name, so what was it and why the new one?

    The opportunity was offered to me by Polk to join the forum.
    Membership is open to anyone to join, so your statement is misleading at best. The question is why would you need to join again under a new moniker.

    Yes, you are not answering the question, which raises a red flag as it's obvious you've been a member in the past, so why the name change? If you haven't been banned or otherwise cast out, there's nothing to hide.

    Bud first off, sorry for the derail.

    So, maybe request a photo of something or a story of a person's audio journey or what one of your pieces would mean to the interested party.
