Help with Car Boot / Ebay / Amazon

Hi everyone
I'm moving my family out to Southern Africa in the next few months, to be engaged in long term voluntary work - so I'm clearing my house out. I don't have time anymore to do ebay listings, and am generally out speaking at churches on Sundays when car boots are on.
As everyone here seems quite experienced, just thought I'd ask if there are any organisations/peoples that take the boxed items and try and sell them for a percentage of the selling price. I've looked at trading assistants on Ebay, but they all seem to specialise in a particular area. I have many boxes of books, and then some clothes, toys, ornaments, kitchen stuff and general household things. Probably nothing individually really valuable (I'll wait until I leave to get rid of big furniture etc), but lots of bits (not tack though).
If I do find a friend (or friend of a friend) who will car boot for me - I'll just help box up the items first - what do you think would be a fair percentage? 50/50? Is there anyone on here from South Yorkshire that would be interested?
Thanks so much for any help that anyone can give - your thoughts are appreciated.
