| LOL the box weighs over 40 lbs, the shipping would cost more than that! |

Exactly... the shipping cost itself might be more than what it takes to buy singles outright to complete a few decks. Even though $50 (including S&H) could be an absolute bargain, that still doesn’t change the fact that I could be paying $30 worth of "junk" cards I don’t need.
That said, the sheer amount of 5000 cards is sure to attract attention, especially if a good chunk is from RotK and beyond. Who knows, you might run across a collector/player who just wants cards, lots of cards. I think you’d have a fair shot on eBay if the price is good.
BTW, how do other folks clear out their extra commons and uncommons, or do you just sit on them forever? |

Lol that’s what I want to know. I mean keeping them for trades just isn’t worth digging through a box of 5000+ so I figured it’s easiest to get rid of all at once. Do you think it would be worth the time to inventory the box? I honestly have no clue what’s in it...I’ve been collecting for a very long time and these were all extras. |

you will get more if you split then in 2
having 2 block of 2500 cards.
but my guess is that you will sell it for 10$ + shipping of 25$ or something |

Not individual cards!  Maybe just the range of sets/blocks your lot covers, in case for example someone’s hoping for post-Shadows and everything happens to be pre-Shadows. And if a particular set/block is heavily skewed (30% BoHD!) it’d be great to know that too.
Although to be honest, doing that would be far beyond the usual "don’t bother asking me for a list, I haven’t got the time" description that I see everywhere. *LOL*
I’d be curious to know what online stores do with their stock when they close. I think Cobra Cards sold the remaining rares as gigantic lots on eBay, but I don’t remember seeing lots for commons/uncommons. Recycled? Donated? Celebratory bonfire?
...Anyone want a bunch of Southrons?  |

I’m sure most of it is from the first 3 blocks. I may just separate it into sets or blocks and count the quantities. Either way, I’d rather trade them for a handful of cards from my want list than sell them for cheap. 
Have a   |
