I have probably 10 full pirate sets (instructions but no box) and space sets
(instructions no box) from the 1990's. They are mixed loose in tupperware,
but I have no reason to think any pieces are missing or damaged.
My questions... (so many but the basics first)... haha....
1) I am new to selling these. How should I prepare, by attempting to find
all pieces for each set?
2) Should I try and find unusual / rare pieces (part out the sets) instead of
considering them part of a "complete" kit?
3) Guidance of any kind to achieve max value, but in a respectful manner.

Thank you so much.
In the condition you describe them today, they are only considered loose bulk
Lego and not worth very much. You can only really claim to have the sets you
say you have by doing a bit of work.
I suggest taking the time to find all of the pieces for each set and build them.
What that really means is TRY building them to see if you have all of the pieces.
If it's only 10 or 20 sets, it shouldn't be too much effort. And, it
will be FUN, too.
Once you determine how complete each set is, you can decide to sell them As Is
with missing items, or you can purchase the missing items to make them complete
-- and then try to sell them.
Old Pirate and Space sets are always desirable, some sets more than others, of
course. You could get rich, who knows?
A less time-intensive way to sell what you have would be to spread the items
out on towels or bedsheets and Take Lots of Pictures. Then, try to sell as loose
bulk Lego.
So you're saying... I get to play with legos again? The exact childhood
sets?
I'm in.
