Do you mean that you will get (a) more for a collection selling each mag off one by one, so that some will go higher as collectors look to fill holes in their collections etc.. or (b) more for a collection selling it as a single lot, because the prestige and rarity of getting a whole (poss. complete) collection in one go adds to the price - so you get more than if you sold it off piecemeal? I am note sure myself which - for big collections, a big price will limit your audience, but then, big collections don't appear that often....
I think a) would bring in the most cash - at least some form of a). Probably not every issue by itself but say the first 50, then into bundles of magazines and then separting the 3rd edition stuff, etc. I'm not even sure what kind of price what an estimate value of a complete Dragon collection would be but I could guess at $1500? And the number of people just willing to drop that amount on Ebay for an auction (regardless of what it is) is pretty limited.
