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.

Given what I buy, I need to know which specific pressing, mastering, plant, etc. Perhaps this is irrelevant to some genres and types of records, but there is a considerable difference in value among different pressings of older rock, blues, prog, jazz, and the like. 
The Discogs system is set up to identify the specific pressing if you go to the trouble of finding it- deeper on some genres than others. I don't know if they modernized their export feature- as I recall it was somewhat limited. I would check that--the export function and its implications- before loading info into the Discogs "Collection function.
