What to do with 127 sets

I hope this is the right place to ask this. My son is in college and wants to sell his Lego collection. As he is out of town and I am currently unemployed, I offered to help. Now I need to figure out the best way to get the most $$ from them. They are mostly loose in large boxes, with some partial builds. I have found instructions for 127 sets, so potentially there could be somewhere near that many complete sets in those boxes. The majority is Bionicle, but there is Star Wars, Space, Mars and others in there too. I have spent days searching the internet for the info, but still can't really get a feel for if it is better to sort and sell complete sets, sort and sell by the piece (Bricklink), or sell bulk lots by piece or weight. I am hoping the experts here can help me figure this out. I have time and like sorting the pieces, but I do want him to get the best possible price to help with his education expenses. Thanks for your thoughts!!
