What's the best way to sell it? Just weigh it and put it up for sale? Break it down into bags of a specific amount and sell individually? Catalog the whole thing and sell it piece by piece on Bricklink?
That third option would probably be the most $$ but that seems like a full time job so not SUPER interested in that.

hey photon
if you sort the lego into sets you'll get waaaaaaaaaaaay more $ for it.
if you go back and check this link from me...

we got a total of 3 rubbermaid totes (68L size) for i think $375.
just these 3 sets we found in the tubs would cost almost $375 now (even more earlier in the year when they were 'new' sets)...

so far we've found almost 40 sets - it's just nuts!! we figure the value of the 3 tubs to be north of $2500. now grant it, you won't get full pop when selling used lego, but i think a full set at 50% off retail isn't unreasonable. with that 'math' the lady that sold us the 3 tubs of lego could have gotten 3-4 times as much if she had sorted the sets before selling them.
