Best way to sell a record collection


Hello, last fall I sold my record player and decided to go all in on cds. Now I have a bunch of records that I don’t want that are taking up space. Some of the records are really good finds and according to discogs I have some pretty valuable records as well. My question is, what’s the best way to go about selling? I really don’t want to deal with putting the whole collection on discogs and having to ship out one at a time and dealing with packing and shipping. I’ve never sold records so I’m trying to make it as painless as possible while also getting maximum value out of the records that I purposely acquired for their rarity or value or whatever. Does anyone have experience with this? Thoughts, opinions, advice?

I did this a few years ago. I bought the proper shippers and inserts, maybe 50 or whatever was pretty small. I listed carefully on eBay which was the time consuming part. I just listed the most valuable records and then made a few packs of 4/5 (whatever fit in the shippers) and sold those too. Then the remainder I gave away. Mailing is pretty easy via media mail USPS and eBay basically can generate the labels. It certainly takes time to do this.
