A decade ago, I helped the widow of a neighbor ham dispose of a LOT of 
gear, antennas, coax, test equipment, and a HUGE junkbox (ham-speak for 
a stash of parts to build and repair). It was a LONG process. I began by 
building a spreadsheet of all the gear, antennas, and the major parts. I 
then did the homework of finding the selling price of everything for 
which I could get data. Sites like ebay, eham, manufacturer-specific 
reflectors like this one. He had a LOT of tubes, vacuum caps, power 
amps, power amp parts, etc. I got advice from a member of our club who 
specialized in collecting tubes, from power amp builders.

I did NOT attempt to sell to resellers -- that's giving away part of the 
proceeds of sale that should go to the estate. I spent weeks cleaning 
out and sorting through his workshop. Local hams climbed towers to down 
antennas, then broke down the towers, rolled up coax. Local hams bought 
a lot of stuff. Once that was all done and the big stuff was sold, 
several of us took all the "hamfest" items to several large outdoor 
swap-meets.

A complete listing of the Elecraft gear, including all the modules, 
crystal filters, etc. should produce advice from this reflector of its 
value.
