“And if I could find a media auction site that could support any type of volume, I’d be there in an instant.”

Would amazon work for you? I buy tons of used books and CDs there.

The reason why I'm seeking an auction site is that I've got about 40,000 CDs which would be impossible to assign a market price to. Some of them are CDs that never existed as far as most people are concerned; open auction is the only way to reliably move them. It means that a whole lot of people around the world end up with some stellar deals - as of course, when you start out auctions at a penny, and there is but one bidder, no matter how valuable the item is, it will just sell for a penny.

I can either choose to spend 30 minutes per item researching and pricing which would take 7 years to do so, or I can spend 5 minutes putting them up for a penny, which will take me a year to do so.

Yes, I could likely realize triple my money doing it the other way, but end up still having 32,000 of those CDs which I'd still have to dispose of.

It is a delicate balancing act of time vs money vs eventually reaching the end.
