I have 200+ sets and several thousands parts, all from buying/collecting Lego
over the past 20 years. There are few things I need to do before listing them
all. For this, what is the best inventory management tool?
1. List is already in excel, Can I upload directly to BrickLink and/or Rebrickable?
2. Rather than looking up each set separately. Is there a way to get price range
from BL given some flags (Used, Complete, ...)
3. Most parts are sorted (separated sets). I ultimately like to get the 'higher
value' sets so it's worth to invest the time and group the sets together.
For example, no point in organizing the Friends sets if those are of low value.
4. I do not have much time to dedicate to this hobby. All sets/parts are stored
in 100+ boxs/oganizers (Ikea and the like). Ideally I'd like to sell all
at once, but need to inventory first to assess fair value.

Not “directly.”
BL uses XML files.
I think Rebrickable can use CSV files, but they don’t use the same IDs as BL,
so, even if they take BL XML files, Orders or Wanted Lists, and Studio files,
I’m not sure they take CSV files with BL IDs.
You should be able to export in XML from Excel… but I’ll let you search how to
do it

BrickStore is free and open-source.
It can import/export studio, BL files, and rebrickable.
It's really the best way to manage inventory, orders, your collection, etc.
