There are inverse situations too. We were recently called to remove a system that we had installed years ago. (In the component video era) The owner has residences in several regions and is preparing to sell this house, asking us to tear down the system and stage equipment for passing out to family. We dusted the units, unmounted the TV, and created multiple piles, each pile associated with a unit and it’s accessories and manuals.

Probably the biggest winner here is the real estate agent feeling that the house will present better. The equipment is obsolete. Maybe the Pronto’s will have some value on eBay.
