I'm selling about half my collection because:
    I have well over half a million pieces, and we live in a
        2 bedroom apt - I want some breathing space back.
    I have so much Lego I can't find pieces I KNOW I have,
        so I haven't built anything in almost a year, as it gets too
        frustrating trying to find pieces.  I need space just to
        sort what I really want to keep.
    I need space to build a couple of engines for our cars,
        as one is on its' last legs, and one has been parked
        over a year (except for about 3 days).
    We've also decided to leave California within 1-2 years,
        and I don't want to move all that Lego.
    I also need to get some cash coming IN, not going OUT ;-)

I'm not hitting a dark age or anything, I just need to clear a ton out.  I want to
see the carpet in my apartment, it hasn't seen sunlight in years.
