I don't have a local game shop that would be willing to buy my bulk cards (only local game shop buys collections only if they contain a lot of valuable rares, which I'm planning on selling off individually).
Still, I have multiple storage tubs full of excess commons/uncommons (mostly common) from cracking booster boxes and buying packs. They're taking up a lot of space and I'm not really sure what to do with them. There may be commons/uncommons that have spiked in price mixed in, but I haven't kept up with Magic prices since Kaladesh and I really just don't have the time or patience to go through all the cards and pick out the good stuff that may be mixed in. Is it worth trying to sell them off? Not looking to make a fortune, but I'd just like to get SOMETHING for them. Or should I just toss them in the garbage? That would kill me to do but I really need the space freed up.
If it truly comes to tossing them out, see if your local LGS will take them for free. My LGS has two 5000 count boxes of free cards, its contents are entirely donated by players, usually made up of draft chaff and release tourney leftovers, filled by people that still like to draft but have no need for more bulk who dump them in the box after the draft is over. It’s been GREAT for new players, and especially for those getting into EDH.
If you’re looking to sell, your best bet is to look at the big players in the market like Star City, ChannelFireball, or Coolstuffinc to see if there are any conventions/tournaments/events near you. They almost always buy bulk, but if there’s an event near you it wouldn’t hurt to contact them ahead of time to make sure you aren’t wasting a trip. Because it’s very hard to sell bulk via other means due to shipping costs, events are about the only way to do it.
LGS will give you something for them. If they are organized (9-pocket sheets) you'll probably do a lot better then just a big random pile of crap. I wouldn't pitch em.
