How Do You Dispose of a Collection?

I'm sure some of you guys have pondered this question. I have a fair sized collection. About 2/3 collectibles and the other 1/3 are shooter/modern rifles, pistols, and shotguns.

Should I die unexpectedly or for any reason, have to liquidate my collection. What would be the best instructions for my wife and kids on how to best dispose of my firearms? I do want them to get as fair a price as possible. But being unknowledgeable, they will be lost on where to begin.

Or even if I wanted to get out of my collection entirely and didn't want to hassle with online listing, shipping and selling. What would be your recommendation?

So the question is: How to dispose of your gun collection in bulk? Local auction company? Sell out to one of the online sellers? If so, which one?
