To answer your question, it's definatley a buyers market not so much a sellers. The figures are collectable and desirable, if priced right they will all sell, but if your looking to double or tripple your money it's going to be very hard. Unless you have the rarest of the rare and what comes to mind would be colored Vision, Blade, mail away Nick Fury and Xforce Archangel, and anything released from CC and Mandarin each commanding an easy $50-200+. Other then that it comes down to the wave it self what the assortment ratio, if Wolverine is 1/case he is considered more valuable and sought after, but over time with releases ,repaints and boxsets it takes away from the original single carded figure.
I'd say keep the collection don't sell, it takes years before you know what the true market value is. An item maybe worth $1 but give it 10-20 years and they stop making them and it gets harder to find it then becomes worth $100 or $1000 and to the right person on the right day, sky's the limit. You have a big collection and all moc, if you truely want to make a profit you'd have to sell it as a 1 shot deal with a reserve sticker and something to make the seller drop $5000 such as free shipping.
As far as your limited space issue, I hear/feel your pain, I too live in a small 1 bedroom apt, with my gf and tons of shit, and constantly running out of room, I try to sell/get rid of an item if I add an item, especially with clothes. In order to better your situation I have 3 ideas. 1 stop buying toys for a few months and save up enough for a bigger place. 2 rent a storage locker, most places charge you like $1 for your first month, they're clean, heated and you wouldn't need a massive sized room so average rental cost / month should only be newheres from $10-50 max, or if you have friend/family to store it with. 3rd option and the most logical to most of us is, open them! buy yourself a nice display case or couple bookshelfs and open then, the packaging is 90% of the clutter, but by doing so you do drop the overall value.
