If anyone was interested the collection did not sell on ebay for $1920, will be listing the cards individually on ebay (or groups). Some day I will post how much I netted from this en devour... (So Far negative 34$ for packaging supplies, lol)

Thanks for everyone's input. Your right, I may have to sell individually. It is free to post on ebay, so I might as well try the whole collection there and see what happens. 
If anyone here was interested on the general condition of the cards, here is a link to the pictures of those cards over $10 TCG Ave. http://imgur.com/a/TXxop
Thanks again!

Deadonersising: I checked out TCGplayer selling, but the $0.50/card paypal fee is killer (for low volume sellers) for all lower value cards, it will be something to consider though for the more expensive cards
$1/card bid and letting the market determine the price is not a bad suggestion Thanks

Thanks for the input. I was thinking that $2k is probably a fair price, including other comments. I figure as-is it will be about $100 shipping, then selling fees and such take another huge bite, (So if I sold for $2k Id be looking at really netting like 1600$ or so, ugg).
EDIT: LOL the first time I did this check I did not include multiple copies of cards
However per HansonWK's suggestion, if I adjust the "older" cards to say 50% based on condition (and making that alpha nightmare base 50$ condition adjusted), and then total all of the cards over $1, it is in the $2450 ballpark, so 60% of that is about $1500 (cards down to $0.5 is 2700$). Then the box of Chronicles and few unhinged packs might get me to $1650. That's not too bad, or too far off from the $2k .
Based on HansonWK's comment, perhaps it would be a better idea to try to sell all of the cards that are $1+ TCG Average (or even $0.50) as a lot and then give away the rest locally to save on shipping (The buyer probably does not care about the less valuable cards anyway). So realistically perhaps the commons/uncommons that have little value really are a net negative value to try to sell... Hmm, more to consider

Thanks for your responses
So my TCG Low price is on everything is $3,815.95. The low price down to cards for $4 is about $2k. (But I do not think I am going to get $400 for the Alpha Nightmare, something is off with the TCG price, that was one NM one, while the LP ones were like 70$)
I flagged everything legends and older pretty much HP as the default while I was loading them in. I would say that most are probably more like MP, but to be safe set the default to HP. For instance the Beta Wheel of fortune is more like LP (The Thunder Spirits are more HP since I played a white deck). I had planned to take pictures of the cards with average value of more than $10 with the posting.
I also priced all of the cards based on posted buy list prices , adjusted for condition (to HP) and that price was about $1200

I have been away from magic for a while now, and it is time to try to sell my collection, but I am unsure of a fair price to sell for (either through ebay or otherwise). I have gone through the trouble of cataloging the whole thing into deckbox. Most of my cards are vintage (Homelands and before) but I have several cards since as I went to pre-release tourneys and opened packs. I am not really looking to sell via this posting, only hoping for some feedback on a fair price to list it at.
Here is my collection: http://deckbox.org/sets/381680?o=d&p=1&s=j
Some Key items: I have several dual lands (~8), several alpha/beta/revised/Legends (and a few Arabian knights/antiquities). I have complete sets of Ice Age, Chronicles and Homelands, as well as an unopened box of Chronicles (and 4 packs of Unhinged - if that matters 
).
Anyway I am struggling with a fair price to try to sell the whole thing at (and i dont think i want to try to sell individually). Any comments on how to sell the collection would be appreciated. Thanks!
(Deckbox Ave value is about $6k; my thought was perhaps listing for $2k on ebay, would that be fair to where I might get some interest, or is that to low (or high)?)
