yikes...
Box 1 after 10 hours of work…
might be time for Paypal claim...
Wouldn’t I have to return the boxes and who would pay for shipping? At this point
I really just want to move on and upload the items. time isn’t really a issue
and the parts value is 4x what I paid so there’s wiggle room to spend some time
on it. Plus sorting the “new” part boxes is more satisfying than regular bulk.

I would say you the seller is ticked off somehow and this is petty revenge -
maybe seller's remorse because you got a good price. Or, the seller underestimated
shipping costs and dumped it all into the smallest number of boxes they could.
They could have at least put the new and used into separate boxes.
If you win the PayPal claim (you almost certainly would), you would have to return
the pieces and pay for return shipping.

Is that a matchbox?!?
Looks like one of the boxes is just unsorted bulk, the others look like parted
out sets.
I would just sell it all bulk on eBay to try to get your money back as most of
it will take ages to sort and I wouldn’t sell it new ether.

Wow...that's a lot of work right there! It looks like an unsorted box you
would get from e-bay. If you don't like sorting then maybe a Marketplace
listing will do to move it along. Was the seller upset over the selling price
to have taken so little care in sending it to you? He/she had to have known
they were causing a lot of work.

They accepted my offer within 25 minutes from me sending it. the only thing that
they might be upset about is
A. I planned to resell a good chunk of it
or
B. they wanted me to not place an order but pay directly through PayPal, I preferred
to go though bricklink and told them id pay for more for the bricklink fee.
I've sent them a message asking if I can return It or if they can refund
for some of the price difference due to New parts being mixed with used/non Lego
items.

stirring the pot a little more, I'd say all isn't too bad IF the used
aren't mixed with the new (although you do say that here!)..
I first assumed the new was in 10 bags, and the used in 5 boxes. As for the packaging,
definitely not what I would have done!
Looks like the seller literally scraped the whole store into those boxes, without
even counting/checking them.
I would have done that, and at the same time bagged them up sensibly starting
Aircraft and finishing Znap.
Assuming new isn't mixed with used, I would definitely take a closer look
at parts with big surfaces for bad scrapes and knocks, although will add that
brand new parts from sealed sets don't survive 100% unscathed... (e.g. every
single Trans Light Blue panel in 76269 Avengers Tower had varying degrees of
scratches on them... the outer boxes on all 3 I parted out were mint).
Avoiding Bricklink fees is naughty, whether the seller is shutting shop or not.
Just not cool.
Sorting? I'm with Jen on that one.
1. I love sorting too, and
2. If new is separate from the used, I'd have those 17,000+ items in 1,180
individual bags within 10 hours
Returning it?
At 4x you should be happy. Especially if the 25Ib used was thrown in for free
as "not yet listed" parts..
(If the new and used are indeed separated, you can "return" them to me
for the price you paid )
Negative feedback? Not really necessary imo. Give it a week sleeping on it before
you decide. It's not like the (ex) seller would care too much anyway..

What are you getting up to
One thing I did noticed there’s lots of random dividers I’m assuming from dumping
their store in to boxes
I guess that’s the sign that they just did not care one bit, if they do decide
to go back into business they’ll be miss’n those dividers

brand new parts from sealed sets don't survive 100% unscathed... (e.g. every
single Trans Light Blue panel in 76269 Avengers Tower had varying degrees of
scratches on them... the outer boxes on all 3 I parted out were mint).
The “new” boxes had non-Lego items and assembled parts in them so I’m forced
to consider everything used
Avoiding Bricklink fees is naughty, whether the seller is shutting shop or not.
Just not cool.
Sorting? I'm with Jen on that one.
1. I love sorting too, and
2. If new is separate from the used, I'd have those 17,000+ items in 1,180
individual bags within 10 hours
Returning it?
At 4x you should be happy. Especially if the 25Ib used was thrown in for free
as "not yet listed" parts..
I was aware of it when I was pricing it out.
(If the new and used are indeed separated, you can "return" them to me
for the price you paid )
Negative feedback? Not really necessary imo. Give it a week sleeping on it before
you decide. It's not like the (ex) seller would care too much anyway..

What are you getting up to
One thing I did noticed there’s lots of random dividers I’m assuming from dumping
their store in to boxes
I recently purchased a store’s entire inventory that was poorly packaged. I was
wondering what everyone’s expectations bagging/packaging are.
See images below for a 17,000+ item 1,180 lot order packed in 10 bags and 5 boxes(25
lbs of used Lego was also included)
(Most of the lots where listed as NEW)

All I can say about this travesty is that I am glad they decided to sell everything
and not to be a seller anymore. (hopefully) Yikes.
Good luck sorting all your now Used LEGO! I love sorting actually. That looks
like fun to me.

I'm not sure to understand the problem and who's to blame
1) You to buy ridiculously cheap and to complain.
You don't say "You get for what you pay?"
2) The seller to ship inappropriately, but then you should've "reseal"
the boxes open a PayPal claim and ship them back as is. Then you could complain.

True
It was more intended for sharing than complaining but I've also have had
more time to let the lesson sink in if you will

I'm baffled as to what "lesson" you're letting sink in, from
this?
If it's the adage "you get what you pay for"? That's not fully
applicable here, not as I see it. Regardless the purchase price, the seller had
to have agreed to it (auction sale included) and if shipping was structured into
the negotiated price, that's on the seller. Therefore proper effort (money/time)
towards shipping, is implicit.
The vendor, while processing this, had to know the nightmare they were creating
for you, whether you be a reseller or hobbyist. Which doesn't make any of
this easier for you to accept, or frankly to read for that matter
Many of us have been there... That is having sold (shipping included) far too
cheaply. I have anyways, and you know what, it's been on me every time. You
bite-the-bullet and painfully spend the extra time and money to ensure a proper
transfer of the sold inventory. You're welcome to curse the world and yourself
while doing it (doesn't help) But do it nonetheless.
If there's a lesson for next time, it's perhaps to further firm-up the
transaction details, irrespective purchase price and preferably before the transferring
of funds.
Good luck

Depending how much there has been a price (down) pressure, seller could have
(wrongly and angrily) decided to throw everything in bulk in cartons
Which doesn't excuse but could explain.
Anyway, the easier approach could have been first to talk, then if no result,
to open a claim and ship back following PayPal's directives.
