You take a 13% hit through eBay, iirc between eBay and PP fees. The plus side is that once it all clears in your PayPal account, you can move the money out immediately.
Highest, but most time consuming is sites like MOTL where you won't lose anything to fees, but it'll take you the longest to sell unless you're willing to take a hit to undercut everyone else.
I can find you people in the NY metro area that will buy things, or stores in Pennsylvania or Jersey that will. I can't guarantee prices, but I doubt you lose too much compared to moving it to dealers at a GP.

I would try and sell stuff to local players first, then liquidate whatever's left at the next GP.
I'm still looking for one more LED.
Any idea what you are trying to offload yours for?
It really just matters how much work you put into it. The more you do, the more you make. Flipping it all at a GP is the easiest, but since it would be at buy list, the least profitable. Making a spread sheet of everything then posting it online with what you want for each card is probably the best assuming you are reasonable with prices
Also, although you may be done competitively with Magic, if you're at all interested in something more casual like building a Cube, I'd hold onto 1 of each of everything you have.
Ya know, throughout the ages, I've forgotten the names of some of my favorite students. But I have this crappy foreign black rare. I look at it and don't even know if it's Japanese, Chinese, Korean, whatever. I think to myself, "Hmmm... wasn't this called something like Reprocess?" Yeah. I can remember the name of a shitty 25 cent rare, but not important shit.
As for signed shit, like the Lim-Dul's that you mentioned, there is a market for signed cards, and depending on signature it can be a lucrative one. That stuff most dealers probably wouldn't buy, so anything signed would have to be ebay'd or something.
If you have Obliterator, that's worth more.
Honestly, my first point of call would be Facebook. Check out the groups on the site. From there, move on. Also I am on need of a few Fetches, I so if you are open to some haggling, I can PM you and see what we can get moving.
Might check the old Facebook for local Magic groups. We have one specifically for sales/trades here that seems to get a fair amount of action. There's also Deckbox, but I'm not sure if that does sales or just trades.
I don't mind ebay for smaller stuff, like Esper said they'll take about 13% off the top (10% of total sale to ebay, 2.9% to paypal), but shipping can make up some of that on smaller items. There are the occasional horror stories for bigger things, and they do tend to side with the buyer in nearly all cases, but there are things you can do to protect yourself like delivery confirmation, buyer restrictions.
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

And why do I own 3 Magus of the Unseen? 8 signed Memory Lapse?
