Can't you use google lens to identify the product and then using that knowledge to see what the price range are going for it?
As for storage i'd recommend putting them in small boxes already filled with bubble wrap, catalogued and name'd just a few steps away from being shipped
I used to send ship overseas, its a gamble really, sometimes the package gets in there fine, sometimes the incompetent post-office loses the package, sometimes they play football with it and it comes broken to the receiver
Its worth ponying up for UPS or DHL, they are expensive but the package always gets to its destination in one piece (though DHL sure take their sweet fucking time)
You can do all that, google lens and even proper searching won't always help getting an accurate price on non-branded collections. But anyway all that is time and effort and a burden, maybe not a huge one if you sell online regularly but still a burden to liquidise rather then a few pieces of valuable art which can be auctioned for high return and low effort, or selling gold or jewellery or land or stocks.
Yep, you voiced it well; that's the other thing, really great investments like gold, jewellery, arts and land, your kin won't want to immediately dispose of them when you die like 10,000 salt and pepper shakers.
In theory anyway [insert long personal anecdote about shitty family].

Same with painting and other fine arts
I've got painting from my grandmother who got hers from hers and so forth... These paintings are almost 200 years old in a decorated brass frame
As for land... Like wine, its price only increases with time.
