What do you do with your kid's old Lego?

OK... at last check, my 7-year-old has over 200 Lego sets in his 12' x 12' bedroom - about 20 or 30 on "display" (let's use the term loosely) and the rest in ziploc bags, boxes, just jumbled about everywhere. Most minifigures have "gone rogue"... they're in the room somewhere, but good luck finding the one you want. They're all less than 3 years old, most still in production. Recently I inventoried them all, and listed eBay "used values" to have some idea where to start in liquidating some of them. But such a huge task... for example... lets say I want to sell the 60025 Grand Prix Truck. I'm sure it will take at least 3 hours of my "free time" (if there is such a thing) to track down all the parts and minifigures, build it, photograph it, list it for sale... and for what? ... maybe $13 or $15 in pocket after fees? Do that for another hundred sets or so, and I've got a new full time job that pays less than my "regular" Lego hobby :) I've got half-a-mind to set aside the manuals and minifigures (that I can find), and dump the rest into a big box in the garage... then... when he wants more cash as a teenager, he can start piecing together and sell from his own "bulk lot". How do you handle Lego overload at your house?
