personally...I'd go with a multifaceted approach. I'd sell some through select AH's...some on here on the BST.
I would not under any circumstances use any outlets that are part of the reason for me leaving the hobby...but that's just me.

I would need to know what (hypothetically) you had.

Ditto both Pete and Peter. Different items require different selling methods. There is a big different between a $3k card and groups of mid-grade 60's topps.
I would also if possible just sit out for a while. It seems like everytime I make a rushed decision I end up regretting later.

You have been talking about leaving the hobby since i can remember. You also sell your own cards and are knowledgeable about all the auction methods and how to sell cards. I think you are the one that could offer the answer to this more than anyone here so not sure why you asking.

If your goal is not top dollar, there are members on this forum that buy full collections. Make a list and they make an offer. You like the offer. Negotiate. Then box it all up and send to them. I did this with my entire military and astronaut collection. Great transaction with buyer. Made a new friend and made some other transactions later.

Interesting question
I don't plan on leaving the hobby, but I was giving this very question some serious thought a few nights ago. What if I have cancer and the doctor gives me 6 months to live?
What would I do with my: Card show inventory? Take it to a show and try to blow out the entire inventory to another dealer at a greatly discounted price? eBay inventory? I don't know. Maybe do the same thing? I could discount it very heavily on eBay and sell what I can before I blow out the remainder. My personal collection? I would probably start by reaching out to board members in the BST and try to sell the whole works. Take what money I can get and move on. Possibly an auction house, although I may not be alive to see the results. Hopefully, that scenario won't occur and I can keep buying stupid amounts of cards and memorabilia.  Also, when I am buying a collection, my favorite part is when I am going through all of the boxes and tubs of junk.

If its a mortality issue, you are really asking about time. The more time you have to sell , the more you can get top dollar. If have to sell in a few months, you likely wont get top dollar.

Bobby - I'm getting out. Just started listing cards 0.99/no reserve/7 day auctions. Whatever it goes for, it goes for. Time with my family and space are more important to me now more than ever. Whatever is left I'll toss in the trash. Best of luck man.

Can't argue with spending more time with loved ones. Too bad you couldn't do both (stay and have more time with family) ....Good luck with the sales.

Presumably you are considering leaving the hobby, in part due to things that PWCC has been accused of. If this is the case (and it is a clear assumption), then I think it would be disingenuous (to say the least) to use PWCC to sell your stuff.
