Sorry to hear about your dad.  There are people on these forums who can give you a much better idea of what all this is worth than me, but from what I can tell, you are not sitting on a gold mine.  Even just the stuff that's photographed isn't worth more than $100.00, and it's probably worth about $50.00.  One of the main reasons is the condition of many of the items which would be considered poor even if there is no writing, highlighting, or smoke/pet smells.  

The best news I can offer you is that your older Dragon magazine are fairly valuable if they are in better condition than the rest of your stuff.  Issues 6-10 can be roughly worth $20-40 each.  Issues 11-20 can be roughly $10 to $20 each. After issue 25, all issues are less than $10.00 each.  After issue 50, they are all less than $5.00.  After issue 75, they are all worth $2.00 or less.  After issue 100, it might not be worth your time or trouble to sell them (except for the Deck of Many Things issues).  A significant factor in their worth is whether those early issues still have their mailing cover or not as this can increase their value by 25% or so.

Normally, I don't recommend selling everything in one lot, however, based on what I've seen, you might want to sell about half the photographed items in one lot and the other half in another on eBay.  The Dragon Magazines from issues 1-40 or so, I'd sell individually, after that, I'd sell them in sequential lots of five issues up to issue 100.  The rest almost isn't worth your trouble.

You are likely going to maximize your profits on eBay.  Selling everything in one lot will get you about half what you might get by going though the trouble of eBay, even after fees and such.  To put this in money terms, I bet you could find someone on these forums who would offer you $75.00 for everything if they could see pictures of your Dragon Magazines and they looked pretty good.  If you sold everything yourself on eBay, you'd net $150.00 profit.  It should be noted this is a wild guess because I don't know what Dragon Magazines you have (that really matter) and their condition.  

Good luck!  

I had a quick look in the smallest of the crates with the magazines in, with the ones up to 100. I can see the following.
Vol1 #6 , Vol2 #4, Vol3 #3, Vol3 #8, Vol4 #4, then they all have a number in the top corner - 36, 43, 47 [2 of], 52 [but small cover tear at staples], 54,55,57 thro 63, 65 thro 80 [except 72 and 77] and 82 thro 99 [except 98]. I'll do as you suggest and try putting them up on ebay maybe next week, all of them except one seem in great shape

I'd be interested in the Deck of Many Things, and I'm in the UK too, so would save on shipping.

PM me if you'd like to sell/trade?
