As someone who has sold most of my collection I need to tell you that you need to sell things individually to maximize your money. Grouping costs you sales because someone may already have half of what you are offering but need the other thing so they will wait for someone to sell that paticular record or whatever alone. Sell the stuff on Ebay with good pictures and good descriptions and make sure you ship the stuff immediately so you build a good reputation and you will do fine.

If you don't have time put it up on Ebay in big lots with great pictures and great descriptions and hope for the best. Ebay is the only way to sell stuff these days to make any money.

You can post on this forum adding links to your eBay page. Personally, I only post links to the rarer items (Gold Nigga 1st issue/ The War CD etc) as most orgers will already have run of the mill stuff like Purple Rain on CD.
I agree that eBay is the best way to sell. Start with a low bid price, if people really want the item they will pay what they can afford and what they think it's worth. Sometimes you will be disappointed with the price you get but those are the breaks... other times you'll be staggered to discover how much somebody is willing to pay for that CD single you bought in HMV.
