Record collection sales addvice

I have been considering selling me record collection and down sizing as I approach retirement. I'm not interested in selling individualy or piecemeal. So as a potential buyer of a 2000 record, record collection what information would you want to know other then the name of the albums. should I list all the albums, condition of each individual, pressing numbers, pictures of each, etc? the more information I know will glean better response but I have to think of the time involved in cataloging every individual record. so what is the minimum you'd want to know? I would obviously include the pressing numbers for rare or potentially collectable records.

I am very good friends with one of the largest used record dealers in North Florida.
He regularly buys huge collections (1000 plus).
Honestly you would be heartbroken at the prices he pays, he is a businessman, he wants to make a living.
I think breaking down and selling in more maneagle chunks is an excellent idea, heck maybe even searching ebay and listing some rarer birds there singly.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
