Tank Shut-down: advice first?

[jon in alberta]

Hi All,

Over the past 4 years I that I have taken advice from you folks about how to be a good reefer, and you have been great. So now I come to you again with a last request:

How to properly shut down my system.

My reasons are (if you care):
1) leaving the country (in about 8 months)
2) young family and job currently ramping up
3) (I'll be honest) a couple of crashes in the past two years that have discouraged me - lost some friends in the tank

I have scooped up a lot of great stuff from you folks over the years during your tank shutdowns - thank you! For my reason #2 above I was wondering this ...

Is it possible to sell my system 'all-at-once'? I see people trying this approach and failing, ultimately resigning themselves to selling each item, bit by bit, over a long time-span.

I presume that if I posted "First person to get here has the whole system for free" that someone would take it! Conversely, if I posted (as I have seen) "I paid over $10,000 for my system, I will accept $9,999 only - NO PARTING OUT!"

where is the middle ground? ... is there a middle ground? Is there such thing as consignment tank-shut-down?

your comments please.
