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?

Sorry for your loss
you have got some great advice
you could also do a quick catalog of the rare high value stuff as advised and include the rest as 800 ish other CD
list whole collection on Audiogon
run it as auction with a reasonable reserve...
Say $5K
a thought anyway
