If this was me, I would sell each item separately, or find someone to do it
for me, for the next few years. I'd have two or three items posted per
week so that I could answer questions individually. You'll only get a
wholesale price with such a huge lot, but I assume the seller is motivated
by time. Certainly this is a two feet in the ocean vintage computer
collection none the less, even if there are not a lot of really rare items.
For all we know the seller is keeping the "good stuff" and purging his
more common items. Or, it may be a must sell thing, we all have had our
backs against the wall and need to sell of stuff to pay the bills. I wish
him well and I hope that these items find themselves in the hands of a
person who will keep them in good shape.

See ebay # 170546160874 .... no affiliation.
All microcomputer stuff that was made in the gazillions of units
quantities. I'm not sure how the owner determined that the value is
"$75K" to collectors. If you're going to list something for more than
$1,000 on ebay, the least you could do is make sure that the listing
is complete when you post it, particularly if you've got only ~30
hours left on the listing.
