Until a few years ago I had always assumed that my kids would benefit from the sale of my models, ranging from very high end to resin kits. It is now my honest belief that in 20-30yrs there is unlikely to be any residual value in any of it. Museums will be crammed with the stuff.
The next downturn, and its coming, will see even more stuff on the market.
As always, opinion.

Some pretty much dead on thoughts above by Nick.
The following of course, is also opinion. The biggest obstacle you will have is getting the objects of the sale to the buyer. Even if you use one of the many fine re-sellers listed by John Dunn, you have to get the stuff to them, so unless you deliver it, you will have to ship, and that is no easy process, and there is generally lag time with consignments. If you don't mind dealing with computers and shipping, don't overlook that BIG online auction.
The quickest, easiest way (again opinion) is to take all the stuff to one of the larger shows. Chicago March Meet, Indianapolis, O Scale West, The Brass Expo, Lancaster, PA to name a few. Take note that the re-sellers listed above attend some of these shows.
Good Luck!
