Pricecharting.com lists my collection at about $28k and I’m heavily thinking about parting with it to pay important debts. What does one do to sell it accurately and fairly?

Okay, first you need to establish what’s valuable and what’s vendor trash. You’ll need to research that. Single out anything valuable and set it aside. The rest just dump as a job-lot on eBay (or divide it up into chunks and do the same thing. If they don’t sell, there’s always the pawn shop.
List the valuable games individually. Like any good auction house, charge slightly less than anyone else that’s also selling them. The key to moving merch is always undercut, undercut, undercut. If the competition lowers their prices, adjust to compensate.
Finally, ignore the price you originally paid for them. It means literally nothing now. Resale value is determined exclusively by demand, and if there’s zero demand, them you might as well give it away or even just recycle it.
Ironically I’ve never paid full asking price for any of my stuff. I’ve always either been lucky or found amazing deals
