I've had bad luck with comic shops -- I traded my whole Captain Confederacy collection for a few back-issues of Dragon in the 99 cent bin. I would try e-bay or craigslist...

Don't expect to get the money out of them that you hope to get out of them. Comic shops won't pay you for sentimental value. (there was a really good SNL sketch years ago with Phil Hartman about a pawn shop that paid for the sentimental value of items).
Don't be surprised if a comic shop doesn't want stretches of your collection, or even half of it.
I am unfamiliar with "Captain Confederacy" is that some kind of "Captain America" thing?
Per wikipedia, "Captain Confederacy is an alternate history comic book by Will Shetterly and Vince Stone that was published between 1986 and 1992. It tells the story of a superhero created for propaganda purposes in a world in which the Confederate States of America won their independence.
The first storyline, published in twelve issues by SteelDragon Press, tells how the first Captain Confederacy, a white man, joins the rebellion against his country. The second storyline, published in four issues by Epic Comics, focuses on the struggle to control the politics of the North American countries, at a world super-hero conference in Free Louisiana. The new Captain Confederacy is a black woman, very pregnant with the last CC's baby."
I liked it because I love alternate history. And ironically, it was mentioned it one of the Excalibur issues.

Ah! Yes that one...where Kitty Pride is doing the Confederacy program originally created by Doug Ramsey and she references it...Hadn't realized it was a real comic. Interesting.

The strange part is that it referenced a plot that didn't exist in any of the CC comics --- I wonder one of the Excaliber writers had pitched a new plotline for the CC continium.
The best part of the series was the Letters to the Editor page, where the readers debated different aspects of alternate history -- pretty thought-provoking for a place in the comics usually reserved for "no-prizes"
I thought it would have been interesting to put the storyline in an alternate Marvel continium -- but in Marvel, all the American superheroes are from New York City, right? :-> The CSA would have Rogue, Cannonball, and, um, that Cajon guy that threw playing cards around, and the USA would have the rest!

eBay is your best bet based on your collection. You could sell each issue individually, or sell them in lots.
I'm looking to sell mine soon, but the sheer size of it (17,000+ issues from the 1960s till current) limits my options for selling it...I'll probably try to auction it off as one large lot.
