Under any circumstances, you will have to ship at least some of them.
Spend a few bucks for a membership and post here - also on Classic Rendezvous, The Paceline and Velocipede Salon -with good pictures. There are enthusiasts with money on all of those sites.
Do some advance work and figure out a safe, reasonably priced shipping scheme using a combination of a local shop to pack them properly and and a shipping aggregator like Bike Flights or Ship Bikes.
Well, depending on the number of bikes, why would a non-enthusiast want to deal with it? Let's say your great aunt or great uncle left you their high-end large widget collection. You know nothing about these large widgets. Yes, you can go through the hassle of individual listings and the large pain in the ass of proper shipment and get top dollar through ebay. Let's be real, for high-end top dollar, ebay is it. This place and CR is mostly bottom feeders. I think Facebook is a better option than here.

Or, you take the wholesale price and save yourself a lot of time and stress. Depends on what you value more.
