Personally if I didn't want a hassle of selling individually I'd take them to Vassar, Albrecht Auctions, bidnow.us.
They do a gun auction once a month. Call ahead to schedule a time to drop off that many guns. They have a FFL and guns on there often go for higher than retail. That is quick, easy and probably only 1.5 hours from you.
You can do reserves if you want, but I highly doubt you'll need it because I've never seen a gun go for "too cheap". After the completed sale a couple weeks later you'll get a check. I think that is the easiest way to get this done fast. I'm driving a friend over there who has about 10 pistols to sell.
I tried a different auction house before, and granted some stuff went for OK prices. ammo especially went for crazy prices!! Bulk packs of .22lr for $50+.
I wasn't allowed to put a reserve on anything, but could bid on my own stuff. Had to pay a 3% fee to 'buy' my own stuff back, plus a 4473.
Just looked at the Vassar site....not sure if it was to be a joke or not but someone paid $255 for a Hi-point C9

That site is not buyer friendly for firearms. They add 13% buyer's premium and still take the 6% sales tax. FFLs there also charge anywhere from $5-$20 to do your 4478.
Might be 10% premium for cash, but how do you pay cash online?
So a $190 hi-point + 13% premium fee is $214.70, + 6% tax is $227.58! And don't forget the NICS fee too, lets take the lowest I've seen ($5).
Now your $190 hi-point just cost you $232.58. Assuming your high bid was $190.
The site isn't "buyer friendly" not only because of the premium, but also the prices that people are bidding. I've bid on literally 100's of guns there, and I bid to a realistic price considering the premium, etc. I've only won 4, and one of those I overpaid.
Apparently there is something about an auction and people pay crazy prices. So yes, in short the site isn't "buyer friendly", but it is EXTREMELY "seller friendly" especially if you have a large lot you want to get rid of or something you can't sell on here, but need cash.
