Guidance on Selling 1000 Items - 20 to 30 SKUs (Auto Parts)

I have two full pallets of replacement OE auto parts, mostly ball joints, swaybar endlinks, etc for reasonably high-volume vehicles (Toyota Truck / SUVs, Jeeps, F150s, etc). It's predominantly a single brand, US-owned, foreign-manufactured.

What seems to make the most sense to clear out this inventory?

Start a seller account and just list the items? Send the pallets to Amazon as LTL freight and let them sort, warehouse, and fulfill orders?

Any pitfalls to avoid here?

For clarity, I only intend to sell off this inventory as a one-time gig since I acquired it in a bulk clearance. Not looking to make every last dime, the goal here is to clear out the stock at a reasonable pace and price point.

Is it more hassle than it's worth to setup an account and onboard this one time inventory?

Are there well-vetted services that would sell on my behalf? ... or some sort of agreeable solution?
