Calling all Magic: the Gathering players!!!!

I need your advice, assistance, hand holding, and whatever else you can contribute.

The story is sad, but true. I’m unemployed, not getting child support, and the X left 4 notebooks full of MtG cards in my posession. I’m busily trying to organize and classify them for sale. Here’s where you come in!!!!! I need to know –

Who’s paying well for older cards? Is ebay worth the trouble? What sites do you use for info on the cards themselves? Would it be better for me to sell to a card dealer, or sling up a page and do direct sales?

Please, give a girl a clue!
