To sell or not to sell?
In terms of cash-flow, selling your collection would be only ever be a short-term fix. In terms of catharsis in connection with OCD ... again maybe ... but flogging off the whole lot (all or nothing) might seem a little reactionary and perhaps just as extreme as completist collecting?
Perhaps it could be worth just doing a bit of weeding/pruning to start out with and seeing how you feel about it. Where you have duplicates, both regular and special ltd or 1st editions, multiple editions from different countries, regular and signed copies ... that sort of thing.
Is there any reason you couldn't maintain a healthy/balanced collection (not sure precisely what I mean by that, but then again 'healthy/balanced' is different for everybody) and still make a little cash to tide yourself over until your fortunes improve? You don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater unless you really want to.

DON'T DO IT!!!!
This is your LIFE.
Did it in 1996, to buy rave pills etc (yawn), and traded in my prehensile tail.
Only just got them all back, bar the boots, which were some of the best and remind me of fond, crimped sulph teen hysteria, in the basement of BAD in Leeds, scoffing at Gloom Cows, and Rodney Orpheus.
I will kill for the Kiss The Blade VHS comps, Black Planet in Leeds made up, which I left at some flat in Le4icester, because I burned down their kitchen.
Sell your children or your arse instead.
Do not become The Cult!
