So I really want to cull my guitars, as I have 30 plus guitars!
I mainly play guitars I have put together myself and tend to favour Fender style bolt on guitars, but I do love my SG and so that is staying.
Not sure, if I should actually sell them or 'stick them in storage', just I want some space back. Don't need the money, so its not a raising cash thing.
Would trade some cheaper ones for more expensive ones, but only to own less. However, that doesn't actually seem a viable solution anyway. As I can't see anyone wanting to actually do that deal...
So maybe I have to bite the bullet and sell the ones I don't need/want?

Hmmm. Maybe start by picking just two or three of the least favourite (but still usable) ones to dump on a charity shop or school? They'll benefit a little and you'll be an experienced culler of guitars. Might whet your bloodlust for the rest of the cull...
(I'm only saying this because if I had that many to get rid of, I wouldn't even know where to start. I'd be paralysed with indecision in fact.)
To my mind even if you don't need the money everything has a price, just offer up for sale 10 that you you could live without, the sale of which could fund one guitar that you would really appreciate in your collection.
Problem is working out which ones to sell/trade/lend!
(+wis for starting.)
Don't know what you have, but I think I would start by looking for things with a lot of "duplicates", pick the cheapest of those and try to sell them - with the intention of maybe buying just one expensive item if the selling goes well.
(Unless you're wedded to the idea of storage. I don't think it's worth storing the cheapest ones though...?)
I never look at one & think "I should really play that- I've not touched it in ages".
I now strongly endorse the mantra "quality over quantity".
Some of the proceeds went on a nice LP, some on further upgrades for my beloved partscaster & I expect to sell the third guitar to fund a nice LP Jr at some point, but I'm waiting for the right one.
