It depends.  How do you want to get rid of them?  Do you want the most $$$ for
them?  Do you want the most happyness plus fair compensation?  Do you just want

If you are going for most $, Ebay is probably the 'best' way.
To get the most 'happyness', I would say offer them up for auction, with a
limit of one set to each bidder (esp. if they are 'rare' sets), that way the
most people get something.

I perfer straight sale, first come, first served.  However, I can understand
why auctions work quite well for things such as this, in that they allow you to
make a bit more money, and to let people buy sets at what price _they_ value
them at.

So, it is mostly a personal pref. thing, I guess.
