Inherited gear to sell

I inherited a Nikon F, an F2, and a Pentax Spotmatic SPII along with several Nkon lenses and a couple Vivitar and Pentax lenses. I need to pay the burial expenses and last debts of the estate of a Navy vet so it all needs to go towards that. I live near Seattle and Tacoma and was considering looking for a shop of some sort. But, knowing that type of sale will likely be the lowest possible value out I came upon this site. It appears I have a few hoops through to be able to sell gear here. Or can I start listing items right away even though I am completely new to the site?

I am not an admin here, but I would guess you may want to forego a little of the potential value in order to sell in a shorter period of time. Piecing the items online will get some offers for the "good" items and the others will just not attract interest.

Some web sites of used photography gear that are well-known and they buy all sorts of gear regularly:

Also a very short search by me shows Glazer's Camera seems to be the big retailer in the Seattle area. I believe if I were doing this, I would begin with showing the gear there for any offers. If they are focusing on the Nikon F and F2 not interested in most of the rest, you can just say thank you for the time and hit up the other online options. Do it right, call ahead before going and see if they might want you to come on a specific day or time for a better appraisal.

I saw another local source called Dan's, but their web site indicates they are mostly interested in digital SLR and mirrorless. I bet they would make an offer on the Nikons and then turn their nose up on the rest.
