Well, there's a basic trade-off that you need to decide about: the more
time you put in the more money you get out.  You could carefully
enumerate the items piece by piece and hold an auction on
lugnet.market.auction to (probably) maximize your take.  Or you could
mound up the pieces by theme, snap some digital pics of each mound and
sell them on eBay - still getting good money, but taking lots less time.


Alternatively, you could send all your surplus to me and I'd take 20%
(by weight or sale value - my choice) and I'd sell them for you.  This
sounds flippant, but I'd be willing to do something like this if you or
anyone else was interested...we'd want to negotiate the deal a bit.  ;-)
