Tank Shut-down: advice first?

It will also depend a lot on what you have. If it's all top of the line gear, it may be worth it, at the right price, for someone to buy it for the pieces they want and sell the parts they don't. However, if you have older generation gear, low end stuff, or just really beat up, you may have to just take a loss and move on.

Hardly ever does a full system sell for a fair price, most people just aren't after exactly what you have, and unless it's too good to pass up (dirt cheap), then you're better parting it out. Again, with the right equipment, that could take 2 weeks. With older stuff nobody really wants, it could take forever.
