Theres a few sites that will buy them like http://www.thetoyscavenger.com/ but youre looking at a lower price as they just re-sell them
Unfortunately eBay is the biggest and easiest for anything like this.

(I have a replacement body to fit.)
I've got an attic full at my parent's house.
I haven't seen some of it in 20 or so years. Unfortunately I started getting it around 1986-1990 so a lot of it is second hand and damaged, but still, it was cool!
My kids are now 6 and 9 and they have the new Tie-fighters and X-wings, but still I'd love to have the old ones again!
I've not looked but how much would say the AT-AT, Falcon, Snow Speeder, X-Wing go for these days?

Ross, I don't know if you know what I'm doing these days but I'm back in publishing (collecting titles). We just ran a cover feature on the original Kenner Diecast Star Wars models.
As said above, they aren't worth much at all unless they are mint and carded/boxed. The rare Tie Bomber is still worth a few quid without a box but the rest aren't really...
If its all minty and boxed/carded, I'd speak to one of the specialist auction houses - such as Vectis, Wallis & Wallis etc.
I'm puzzled by people who say figures aren't worth much unless they're carded. It is true that you won't be talking the megaquids here but something like an original Vader in decent condition complete will net you £50. A few figures like that, the money builds up.
Stuff like the vinyl caped Jawa mentioned earlier: finding an authentic one is hard because of repro capes. It's the same with weapons, there's a load of repro weapons about. Now your collection sounds like an original (ie. you haven't added to it in recent years) so it will be all original, no chance of repro bits getting in there.
If you want to drop me a PM, please do. I'd be happy to look at any pictures/give any advice. If you sell to resellers, then it'll be like guitar shops ie. you'll get 40-50% of what the collection is worth. I really would do it privately on Ebay, do some research, and see it as a long term project. If you went through everything and, say, put up two figures a week for sale, that wouldn't be too much at once.
lost in a box somewhere over the years no doubt

i'd love an original X-Wing, even a bet up one
Still can't believe how stupid I was. Damn those charity events.
