Selling Flatwork Tools

I'm 70.  I have amassed a tremendous number of flat work tools.  Table saw, jointer, planer....you name it I have it.  I also have amassed a huge selection of hand tools - some of which I've never used unfortunately.  My hand plane collection is wonderful. Also, routers up the yang yang along with other hand held power tools.
So my question is this: Would anyone have any suggestions on how the best way to sell these tools?  I'd like to downsize  and just turn wood.

Well, a couple of questions.
Are you selling them as a lot or are you selling them individually?
Are you looking to make a profit or more of a donation?

I know I will never get what I've invested but I'd rather sell them and get whatever I can.  I'd probably like to sell the lot rather than piecemeal.

Is there an AAW chapter that meets near you or that has a web site?  At ours, for sale items are posted on the web site or brought into the monthly meetings.

Our woodturning group last year cleared out hand and power tool collection of deceased member.  Took six or so months, multiple viewings, and an auction house.  I wonder if charitable deduction for donation to local Habitat for Humanity might yield about as much cash value to you.
