Like all, or many of you, I have huge amounts of commons and uncommons I don't really need. They're all slowly rotting away in well sorted boxes in my room, which is a shame. Before all of my friends started playing tier 1, I would make little fun junk decks to challenge them. Now I can't do that anymore, where's the fun in playing with a junkdeck against Tempo Thresh or Stone Blade?
Sooo what I want to say with my ramblings is, what do you with your unused cards? Pauperdrafts? Normal drafts? Nothing?
What if you find a local store and see if they need to bulk out any part of the inventory? Sell them at .5 of the smallest value per common (In the U.S. I see stores buy commons at 2 for $.01)
Depends in how many we're talking about. If its thousands, I sell them as bulk for a few bucks here and there as they build up. If it's a hundred or two I donate them to new players when the pop up.
Because conservative bias is a far, far worse thing. Liberal bias doesn't, statistically speaking, make people stupid. Conservative bias (or at least Fox's version of it) does.

Sounds like it's time to make a commons/uncommons Cube.

We're talking about three Boxes filled with cards. I'm really bad at guessing, but I'd say it's more then just a few thousand.
I don't want to sell them, there's some old stuff in there to.
i would recommend either doing pauper, or possibly talking to your friends if they are in the same situation with bulk cards, and make little fun decks out of just those cards to play with for fun

Yeah go with the cube. It is solid fun that you and your friends can enjoy in a limited format and you have control over how powerful you want it to be. There are a lot of great candidates for a pauper cube in a few recent sets so if you have the spare cards, set one up for draft/sealed. You won't regret it.
I have a Pauper cube, and a Crap Pauper Cube. I've had to enhance my Crap Pauper Cube with more removal and fat
The format used to be dominated by Amulet of Kroog. And If you got a Combat Medic online you were unstopable.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
I have about 2 long boxes per color of "unused" cards right now, and another big box of lands. Everything else has a home in one of my 50+ decks, 15 EDH decks, Commons Cube, or Horde.
Breaking news.
There will be no Tibalt, Tamiyo, Tezzeret, Garruk, Chandra, Liliana, mini-Jace, big-Jace, Garruk again, or Sarkhan in Theros either.
There will also be no Black Lotus.
I'm going on record right now and stating that before the end of 2012 we will see foil dual lands in booster packs (The real, Alpha dual lands). You can quote me on that.
I save all of my overflow cards in file boxes. Once in a while I separate them by color and fill 1000-count long-boxes with even mixes of each color and basic lands. Then I give them to new players and children.

I draft and play EDH. If a Standard player can't understand who a card is for, it's probably for me.
I also write things about good films.

Completely agree. Selling is very hard though.... especially on craigslist. I just donate them to newer players.
