I'd like to sell most of what I have and do

collection into groups and sell the groups?  How can I find the value of what I

Sell them seperatly on ebay, offer combined shipping and list a low reserve or
none.  This will get you the most money quickly.  If you list them in bulk you
will not get as much.  Selling it all as a whole will be difficult as people
will want to generally sell it for more than what they pay thus you can't get
very much.

If you are not in a hurry you can use bricklink but it is much slower unless you
have very low prices.  If you want to know the value listing them on BL in a
closed store would give you the average current market value for sets/parts.

Loose parts are roughly worth $5 per pound.  Sets are based on demand.  Ebay has
the largest customer base but also higher fees.  If you do sell on ebay, post
announcements here in at Lugnet and if you use pictures (which you should) give
them descriptions and load them onto Brickshelf.  That way you are letting the
community know and collectors know what you are selling and where to find it.
