My collection is more or less the same. Sorting is not a hell still ;-) but it
starts to be close to this. Usually I build on my bed and need to do cleaning
every time :-( . I have not so much space to display my MOC (usually I assemble
original LEGO designs once and after that they are sorted for MOC use). So I
display my small MOC only. Nowadays I am trying to create big projects which can
be separated into few sub-parts.

I have another problem - when I start one big project usually I can not finish
it at once. So I need to put onto the shelf for my next free-time portion.
Sometimes it happens only a week later so my ideas are gone and I dismantle this
unfinished MOC :-( Or start with another one which will be unfinished for some
time too... Small things which I build fast enough I display for few weeks on my
bookshelf. Only very few still survived for few monthes. Specially if they have
rare parts I need for my current project :-| Cannibalization of parts - I am
strong in this!

My current projects are three:
a) castle-headquartiers for my Desert-Ocean world (Space-Western-Town parts)
b) huge submarine for my underwater part of the Ocean world (Aquazone-Space
parts)
c) Creating background history for my Lego Universe
First two projects are finished in 10-15%. Third one - some loose files with
generakl ideas... Beside this I create some Desert and underwater vehicles.

Your count fits my situation too - sometimes I run out of soem parts having a
lot of another ones even untoushed. I rememeber earlier days when I had may be
only few hundreds of parts - all they were used in my big projercts. But these
days are gone...

Don't worry - you are not alone in not-use of your LEGO treasures!
In any case - play well
