Need advice - selling my collection

I need some advice on how to sell my entire collection of Lego. The majority were purchased in the last 5 years (or so), though I have probably 5-10 lbs of pieces from my childhood (pretty worn from constant play and then a very long storage and multiple moves). I stumbled on Brickpicker when I was trying to figure out the value of my used sets. I was encouraged by the prices I was seeing, but had a minor disaster (or not so minor). A friend brought his kids over and they took apart every. single. set. my daughter and I had put together. To the point that some minifigs had arms/legs removed. I was amazed. I've NEVER seen that level of "destruction" in such a short amount of time (3 hours, maybe). My daughter and I had 44 (known) sets assembled. It would have been so simple to take them apart, bag them up, and sell them off before the boys got to them. Now? I'm assuming I'll have to take a loss as I can't take the time to dig through ~44 sets and over 10k pieces to get them sorted and rebuilt. I have gone through a rather painstaking process of sorting the pieces at least by color. Some have been sorted further (specialty, 1x Wide, 2x Wide, etc.) Link to a photo album on Imgur I used the instruction booklets to put together an inventory of known sets, though I'm not sure that'll matter at this point. So, what are my options? Where do I go from here?
