Here in Texas, there is a large chain called "Half Price Books". My experience is that you show up with boxes/bags of books and they create a quick inventory and offer you a price for the whole lot. They will *not* provide an itemized pricing, so it's difficult to see what each book is actually worth. Unless you have hardback books or rare paperbacks, you're likely to be offered an average of $0.25 to $0.50 per book. There are also some used book stores which specialize in various genres -- they offer more in "store credit" than in cash.

I don't have experience with liquidating a larger collection. You might contact someone who works with estate sales and ask for advice.
