Are there any reputable vintage / antique consignment shops within 30 miles or so of The Villages where I could take this stuff to either sell or consign to them to sell?

Yes, I know I could just donate it to Hospice Thrift shop, Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc..
We do not know what you have. You do say you do not wish to sell it on ebay. I'm not sure why. Frankly, I am a pack rat and had tons of stuff before we moved to the villages. It is a lot of work to sell on ebay-perhaps your reason for not wanting to do it.
When, I did it first of all I did well in terms of money. Among other adventures, I discovered that the brass door knobs I had are on page ???? of the book on collectable door knobs. I got over $100 for what I was going to scrap. I am still laughing that there are people who collect door knobs. Wife says I collect dust.

For you, you can find people who will list and sell it for you. I would not. I think they take like half of what you get. You might want to try that.
