Best Way To Sell Large (300+) Collection of Mickey Stuffed Animals

Hi everyone!
I recently got engaged (to a non-Disney freak...hark!) and within the next year I'll be getting married and moving in with him. I have a MASSIVE Disney collection which includes hundreds of vintage WDW souvenirs, mugs, plates and the like and about 300 (or more, I haven't counted) Mickey Mouse stuffed animals ranging from the smaller beanie babies up to the huge life-size Mickey that the Disney stores sell. Most are from WDW, and almost all have their tags on them.
I plan on keeping most of my trinkets and somehow displaying them when I move (the rest will be sold at a garage sale) but I don't think my fiancé will be happy about the invasion of all those stuffed animals. So my question is, how do you think will be the best way to sell them?
As I'm seeing it, I have three options- garage sale, eBay or Craig's List. I don't think the garage sale is my best bet because people tend to bargain shop, and a lot of these stuffed animals are old, so I think they're worth a bit more.
If I go the eBay route, should I sell them as one large lot, indivially (that would be a nightmare) or group them by type and sell them in lots?
I don't have too much experience selling on eBay, so any help would be appreciated.
Is there any other option that I'm missing?
Thanks for any help!

The option you're missing is e-mailing me the list of what you have. :D

In all seriousness, anything vintage tends to sell well on eBay. I'd avoid Craigslist and Garage Sales both for the bargain shopper factor. There are some sites out there I've seen that have a forum where folks can post up items for sale. Not sure if that's allowed here or not (you could ask Steve) but I think getting the sale out to the right "market" of Disney fans is your best option. :)

Each one separate? Or just the older/more rare ones? I can't imagine what ebays fees would be if I did everything separate!
