Sorry to hear about your mom. What an amazing collection! If I had unlimited funds and space my collection might look a lot like that. I imagine she had a tremendous amount of joy buying each one and they likely each have a great story. Even the cute Kala fruit ones! To answer your question a good rule of thumb is used mint is about 20 percent off retail and if you sell on consignment it is another 20 percent off. If you sell the large collection in bulk there is probably another reduction rather than individually.
If you sell on eBay and reverb there are lots of fees that also bite into your profit. You can sell the high end ones here and they will probably sell without the extra fees. You can sell the mid and entry level ones on Facebook marketplace which has a little larger audience. You have some fun and amazing pieces. I might start a Google Sheet or Microsoft excel spreadsheet with name, year, msrp and suggested used price to give you an idea.
