I think every collector goes through a period where they're "done" collecting. Some return to it after a while (usually through some new release), others never come back. The situation is different for every collector.
My suggestion would be to pick a smaller part of your collection that you have little to no attachment to anymore and try to sell it. If you don't miss it, try another section. Work your way through to narrow down what you've got.
Who knows, you might get to a point where you decide not to keep any of it anymore.

I have absolutely no attachment to them anymore and wish I'd never bought any of the damn things. 'Completionist' burnout is definitely a thing.
All I buy now are Hot Toys Iron Man products, and even keeping up with just those is starting to feel like an obligation.
Get out from under them and spend that money on your family instead.
Sent ya a PM over at TFW, ams. It couldn't hurt to copy-and-paste a new sales thread here, too.
