what to do with 1000+ CD's, many imports and live concerts

Sadly my cousin passed away recently.   She was a huge Eric Clapton & Bob Dylan CD collector and other assorted Blues, Rock acts.   I've ripped FLAC versions of the few CD's that were of interest to me but I now have a huge collection of what appear to be "Limited Edition", Japanese and European imports, Promo Copies, MFSL, etc piled high in my den.  

Does anyone have any advice as to how best remove the collection from my house quickly?  I also want to make sure I'm not selling a "rare gem" for a $1.  I'm not in the CD selling business and have a day job so it's not feasible for me to list them one by one.  

Are there any particular CD's that I should be looking for in the collection?  Is Audiogon the place to sell a lot such as this or are there more appropriate marketplaces?

Thanks for you advice Rich.  I live on Long Island and moving the collection in bulk is my only option.  I can't simply throw out (or even give away) assets that are part of an estate with heirs but I also am not looking to start an online CD shop either!  

Still looking to find out the answer to the following:

1)Are there any particular CD's that I should be looking for in the collection?  Point being one of these CD's could be a Ty Cobb rookie card for all I know.  Is that even a thing with CD's?

2) Is Audiogon the place to sell a lot such as this or are there more appropriate marketplaces?

Thanks everyone for your responses.  Those of you interested in talking - feel free to PM me.  I'm happy to discuss and maybe skype or facetime to go through the collection.
