They just dont mean to me what they did and right now, rebuilding my finances is more important.
I have never really been all that involved in selling so my question is, what is the best way to go about finding a cash buyer for all of it? Legitimately, I think I'd take $6k, saves me from having to move everything around again (and probably again after that) and gives opportunity to whoever buys them to make a profit (grand scheme, I take a loss but right now it would be a win so...)
Shipping is not an option and to transport them all, I'd probably have to borrow my mom's SUV because I do not believe they will all fit in the back seat of my pickup. Right now, the only things I have at my apartment are (3) 2011 Topps Update sets, my box of autos/relics and my box of higher value cards. The rest are in a closet at my mother's house.
This is not a sale thread, it is an advice thread.
(FWIW, divorce is final, I walked away with almost nothing except my pride, my truck and my cards (and half my 401k) and I'm ok with that).

I don't know where you are at in your grieving process, but the number one advice in times like this where the head is spinning is that you wait at least a year to make any big decisions, though in theory I'm fully in support of rebuilding your finances, you also don't want to do something you'll regret once you're in a better headspace.
Or, in other words, if you're in a financial pickle, I'd still hang on to one of those trout babies :-)
