A question about selling Warhammer minis...

Didnt know where else to ask this, hopefully someone will know a good answer:
I have a ton of Warhammer stuff that has been sitting on my shelves and want to get rid of, as well as painted figures that I will never get a chance to play anymore, whats a good way to get rid of it?
I was thinking of ebay, just selling whatever I have as is, either as sprues or in baggies just stuffing the box into a mailing box, but how do you ship the already painted minis? I mean, they are delicate as is, and I wouldn't even know where to start on how to wrapping them. So I guess thats my question; how would I go about shipping painted minis without messing them up/ while saving money, as well as is ebay a good way to sell the stuff? Would it be a better idea of just making an entire list of stuff and listing it on here, would anyone be interested in that?
Sorry for the rant, figured id ask a few general questions and hope someone doesnt mind answering.

The only thing I can really help with is the packaging: wrap up the individual minis, first in cotton wool, then in tissue paper, and then pack those bundles together (as many as will fit into the box you're using) snugly, so that they won't move around during transportation. That works for me, I find it does a lot to reduce the risk of breakage.

It also depends on the level of painting done to them. If it's just tabletop standard I'd toss all plastics together in some baggies, and put metals on some foam-rubber or bubble-wrap.
E-bay is the quickest and easiest, don't expect much $. If you're looking for a decent price search for mini trading forums.

Yeah, my advice is more for the metal models, I don't think the plastics need as much protection.
