Probably need to consign it to an auction house. Most people's buying is somehow related with seller, even if it's the same item. For individual selling, it's not easy to sell an item value over $5k,,, there are exceptions, $6k, $7k, $8k,,,, definitely possible, but uncommon. For C&R dealer selling, probably not easy to sell an item value over $20k... this Borchardt is listed at the edge, it may be OK. But need time. If goes to auction houses,,, then $20K is nothing, there are many items selling at that level, people are used to that and in their mind they feel that's very normal.. that's the reason even those big name collectors sending their items to auction houses.
