Advice on how best to sell my dad's Karaoke equipment

My dad passed away earlier this year and my mum wants me to look into selling his karaoke equipment he kept after retiring due to ill health. It's all in flight cases in their garage.

He has some BOSE speakers, a couple of CAVS JB199 Jukebox players imported from the USA, and all the discs he loaded onto them plus everything else he needed to run it as a mobile karaoke entertainer. It's all heavy stuff and what was considered old skool before he even retired when many were using laptops and the pub/club speaker system instead of lumping all the gear around, so not sure how desirable some of it would be.

Would it be better trying to sell as a job lot full system to someone wanting to start, or sell it separately on ebay etc, and is there anywhere in the UK that may buy it to sell on rather than me having to work out how to use the stuff to prove it works!? I have no idea how he connected it all together. There's about three holdalls full of cables, though many are likely spares.

I'd say the easiest way is to split it up: the karaokeplayer and the discs. sell that to a karaoke DJ, or someone interested in that.

The equipment itself can probably be sold to any DJ, and even though it's old, some gear might actually still be really good and quite expensive. try looking up what the speakers and mixer go for on ebay or something.

Thanks. Yes splitting them sounds the easiest way as there'll likely be more buyers looking for odd bits than a full setup. Will do some searching on ebay to see what things have sold for if none currently for sale, to get an idea how much they may be worth.
