Yup, I never had hundreds of games to sell/get rid of but this was the fastest way.

If you don't want to spent too much time and effort selling your stuff, you may consider selling it to a gaming shop in your area. You won't reach top prices, but you will be able sell the whole lot quick in one blow. That's what I do: first offer good titles to friends, the rest goes to a retail shop called retrospiel.
If you have a local retrogaming store that sells on consignment, that would be a great option for minimal hassle.
I know I'm late to this conversation, but I do have something to add.
You need to apply a value to your time. I was in the exact same situation, I had a very large collection that I wanted to sell but piece by piece just wasn't going to happen, I don't have the time to screw around with every piece sale by sale, it consumes a massive amount of time.
I found a dealer that owns a store and we went back and forth over some lot deals. In the end, I definitely took a hit over what I could have moved each individual piece at, but I sold it all off in just a few massive lots and I was done with it.
...BTW...by "hit" I'm talking a good 40%...so clinch those butt cheeks. I have to quantify my time and in the end, it was worth the ding.

Let's not forget that current market value is probably not what one paid anyway. If compared to actual expenses back then, 40% off current value can still amount to 10-20% profit at the end for a seasoned buyer.
Why is everyone selling their games these days?
The vilification of collectards is getting out of hand.
No new wheel here. List it on forums. Offer bundles, or bundle discounts to encourage volume sales. As Smokehouse said - what is the value of your time?
Every package takes time and supplies. Ever transaction has potential for shenanigans.
I've bought and sold a lot of stuff the last 12 years or so. I learned pretty early on to take a little less for the convenience of forum sales and bulk sales (less time, very few hassles, no fees)
