Very Sorry to hear you are leaving the hobby!
I wish you the Best of ALL things in whatever you choose to do in the future and will hopefully get to Welcome you back someday!
The plan is to go live with everything "this weekend". Likely Saturday night.
That said, posting/listing all this is going to be a huge effort. I've been getting it all ready....taking photos, pricing it all, writing out the text descriptions, etc........but even so, the "simple" act of just posting it all will likely take hours to accomplish. And as it is likely that questions and comments will be coming in all during that, well let's just say it will be hectic at best.
I wish there was some way that I could get it all uploaded and ready, and then to just hit "post" and it would all be live at a given moment, but as far as I know that is not possible on this forum. I can do this sort of thing on E(vil)bay, but not here (unless someone can show me how).
So, the best I can tell you as to when it all begins will be "this weekend". I'll do my best to make it clean and smooth, but it's going to be something of a madhouse regardless.

I just did some testing and... you can probably do a lot of pre-work to make the "big reveal" less effort-y. It looks like colors aren't supported by the "paste from word" function, but bold and italics are. What I would do is write up a Word doc (and this is probably for the best so that if something happens and your browser bonks, you don't lose your work and curse loudly). Put all the listing info that you want into it. Format it as well as you can. Save it. When you want to post everything, just copy and paste from your word doc, adjusting as necessary. Pictures won't come in as far as I can tell; you'll need to upload those manually, and I think there's a limit of 10 pics per post. You could either post them in Area 51 ahead of time (then they're available as attachments, but people might see it and start asking questions, because people are like that). Or you could just create a directory with subfolders for each post (e.g. "post 1 pictures", "Post 2 pictures", etc).
I'm a firm believer in maximizing pre-work for something like this.
Good luck with everything, and I hope your rocketless journey takes you wonderful places.

You ought to consider using Ebay. Their process works. It's good for both sellers and buyers. You maximize what you get...
... Once you get into the HPR realm though, not so much. We really are a niche market...
