I pulled up our old Rebrickable account to get an inventory and it estimates that our collection is worth $25k+. I presume that's new in box though, but even if it's worth half that I can't imagine Brick Bin buying it for even close to that.
Anyone dealt with them? Assuming they lowball (they're a business after all) what kind of lowballing are we talking about? Some of our sets are still together, but the majority are just jumbled together in tote boxes. Do they care about that? Does that affect the price?
On the other hand, selling on Bricklink looks like it would yield better results, but involves a lot more work.
I'm not 100% sure I want to part with it at the moment, (the thought of getting rid of so many good memories makes me sad, both from my son's childhood, and some from my own) so I'm just doing some preliminary investigation at the moment.

You need to know your values, Tony will of course low ball you. He's in it to make money.
On the one hand, it's easy unloading everything in one transaction. He does buy large collections in the $20k range. He has an email address, and I'm not sure what it is anymore but I'm sure you can find it on his social channels or a website if he has one.
I contemplated selling my lot to him a couple years <?> ago, and was prepared to go 20% below bricklink prices for the convenience. Then I decided to sell them individually on facebook or something, and then I did absolutely nothing with it all.
