NarcoticHobo, I considered selling off my BW sets as well and came to the same price. Should include everything from BW1 to EBB in 1st ED (although I didn't have a single deck when I considered selling my sets, so that makes your offer a better one). It is difficult to find a buyer who will drop $3K on an entire era, so I would consider accepting offers as low as $2.5K if the sale is a private one (without fees).
I am actually still very interested in the HGSS cards! I recall that you don't have any RH left, but do you still have the Lost Link set? I missed an auction for one awhile back and could use it.
