With a lot the size of this one, you can probably do everything.  If it were
all mine I would sell off the sealed sets first and make some room that way.
Then try to complete as many of the sets as possible, especially older ones,
and put them up in the same manner as Spielbude (and others, his auctions
were the first to come to mind), and move some of the instructions as well
(with the corresponding sets).  Once that stuff is gone, then shift into the
"ibuyifdpriceisright" model of parts lots.  Guy has this down pat, great
presentation, clearly the best method to maximize profits on used pieces
IMO.  Of course, this is just what I would do.

Charger instead.
