Re: haynes/workshop manuals
I too had a large collection like that, I sold a lot of them on Ebay but the ones for what you'd call bread and butter cars are not worth much. classic Jag, BMW and the like often fetch more than the new Halfords price, Escorts and Cortinas won't find a buyer at all.
I gave all my 90 or so remaining ones away on Freecycle to a car booter just to be rid of them.

Re: haynes/workshop manuals
I'd suggest you take advantage of the Ebay free listing days.
Anything you think might be special keep separate and set a higher start price, the ordinary stuff you'll need to judge for yourself by putting their titles in the Ebay search box and seeing how many are being offered and if they're getting bids.
