Buying Privileges - OK
My husband (Leego76)was an avid Lego collector and seller and we have around
about 80,000 pieces in the house worth around £10k according to ReBrickable.
I have the inventories which I can email but they only show roughly 90% of what's
there as there is some we did not manage to list before he sadly passed. He gave
me a few suggested actions and so I am hoping to sell the unopened shop in one
go, bank transfer on collection (SO53, UK).
Any help / advice as to how I can best do this would be very welcome, I realise
I cannot sell it on here (have just read the discussion forum rules!) and am
not trying to but if anyone can help or give me some advice that will help me
list it without it being a massive undertaking I'd really appreciate it.
Many thanks

Sorry for your loss.
If your looking for your looking for the absolute easiest way to sell it I’d
recommend selling it by the pound on a local marketplace, if your fine with a
little more work there are several options such as registering on bricklink so
you can better show the inventory and just set a min buy high enough so people
can only buy everything and then put the parts 50%-70% below the 6-month average
and you shouldn’t have to to much difficulty selling it in bulk in 1 go. Or you
might have some luck joining a selling group on Facebook or something and seeing
if you can sell it there

Sad to read your husband left this realm already....
Hope you (and your next of kin) are coping alright.

Regarding the Lego, here's my advice, as I think you are not planning on
starting a shop here, but want to pass the Lego on to another AFOL/seller/collector
here.

Contact some UK regional sellers directly through the BL-sytem. Explain what
you want, provide the listings so they can asses the collection. And make you
an offer.

Here's a list of the top sellers in England, UK, you might want to contact:

https://www.bricklink.com/memberList.asp?stateID=10270&countryID=UK&v=3&viewUserType=2

If you want a second opinion on any offer you are given by any seller, I'll
be happy to help you. Just send me the inventory listings (what file type do
you have it in? hopefully XLM, CSV or BrickStore ).

Best of luck and hope this helps!
