I would sell them on eBay, however there are 41,000 Hummels for sale at the moment on eBay. Take a look and see what price they'll bring. Here's a link with just a general title, you can search and be more specific.

Most collectibles if in good shape and have photographs and priced right will sell within the 7 days of your listing on eBay. You could put them on auction, I always prefer a 'Buy Now' price when selling or buying on eBay. When I inherited my dad's knife collection, it was worth about $10,000 going by book value. I sold them individually in about two months and received about $5,000 in eBay sales. You'll need to get boxes and pack them good since they are breakable.
My mother had an antique store in St. Petersburg for 20 years and when she retired her and my dad sold at Renninger's in Mount Dora for 15 years. Traditions Antique Mart is in Wildwood I don't believe they would move that fast, depends on how quick you want them sold. Most of the booths there are unoccupied and they work on the honor system with customers. If you're not interested in eBay, I make a trip to Renninger's and talk to a few vendors and see what they can do on consignment, they get far more traffic and it's only 45 minutes away. If you don't want to sell on consignment, you can have operate your own booth at Renningers. On the link you'll see a box for 'become a vendor'.
