Too many US Proof and Mint sets!!!

Hi -
Like many of you, my father started me on coin collecting many years ago. Over the years he regularly purchased US proof and mint sets from the US mint. I now have way too many US proof and mint sets from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. Any ideas on the best way to try and unload these sets? Off the top of my head I can think of the BST, eBay, other auction venues, a visit to a local Brick and mortar coin shop, or a local coin show to canvas any dealer interest. I am trying to unload this bulk material and focus on building my regular numismatic collection. It appears that pricing on most of these US sets (especially non-silver) is pretty low for the most part. Are their dealers that are interested in this material, particularly in a large bulk trade? Is it worth trying to break some of these sets up and get the individual coins graded for a potentially better price point?
I kind of chuckle to myself when I see the occasional advertisements for proof and mint sets knowing that someone else will have to deal with unloading this bulk material down the road. Thanks in advance for any recommendations out there.

The silver sets are easy to unload right now, the others, not so much.
