Here in the Colonies/North America/USA there is the Craigslist for locals, the Reverb/eBay (but the shipping of gear for Reverb & eBay is painful), the local ham radio swap meets/ham fests (shout out to https://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/ (AKA eFlea or EFM friends), but I have not had much success. Yes, I have been able to pass some nice speakers off to new homes but there is other gear that needs to move on.

Thoughts/recommendations appreciated - TIA!

I buy most of my gear using https://www.usaudiomart.com/ and https://www.audiogon.com/. Large speakers and amps over 100lbs are always tricky. Anything worth a fair amount should be shipped freight and palletized.

Super high-end gear? Headphones? IEMs?

An unlikely source might be to bring some of your stuff to CanJam near you and find someone interested.

CanJam Wow, have never heard of CanJam before. never knew there was such a fanbase for headphones. Thanks for the pointer!

Most of the gear is component, 70s-00's era stuff.

My mom gave away some of her gigging gear through local music schools. Now she's getting a living-room concert by the Celtic band that is giving it a second life :-)
