There are a few ways. The first is to just sell it all to a store for their buylist prices, but this will mean you may only get half of the market value. The upside is that your get to dispose of everything all in one go, and some cards (especially bulk rares) are hard to offload. For the money cards, you can sell them directly to people like on eBay or something but if you don't have any rating you might need to offer a slight discount. The third method is to just sell everything to someone at less discount than store buylist but more discount than direct selling since that way you get a better deal than store buylist but still sell everything, and the other person can figure out how to sell everything for max value (i.e. you trade the time it takes to price and sell everything for less money).
I know this might seem a bit much to ask, but do you mind giving a brief overview of what the Common/Uncommons are (like what sets they're from overall)? There are quite a few hidden money common/uncommons and a lot of people neglect them but some cards can be worth more than rares (many of which are often junk).
Also, depending on stuff I might be interested in picking some things from you.

My commons/uncommons have some serious range to them as far as the MtG timelines go, and there are a few blocks from which I straight up have nothing.
I've got a bit of Ice Age/Coldsnap/Alliances plus some Mirage around still. About two-thirds of my collection is probably evenly split among the Masques/Invasion/Odyssey/Onslaught blocks, so there's a lot to pick apart in there. The last third is in the Zendikar/Innistrad blocks, with a bit lying around from Alara, Theros, Ravinca (but not much).

Has anyone heard of this brilliant British woman Katie Hopkins? She's absolutely amazing! I was surfing the information super highway when I ran into this individual and so far, I have yet to disagree with a single thing she's said. Katie's a wonderful voice for the silent majority. She doesn't like tattoos, she thinks fat people are lazy, wouldn't hire people who are fat due to presentation and illness, judges children by their first name, thinks old people shouldn't shop on the weekends because they get in people's way, thinks dumb people shouldn't vote(amen), etc.
She's really hammered home that fat people are fat because they're lazy. This is something I've been interested in lately. This ridiculous notion that fat shaming is bad. Being overweight -is- bad for a number of reasons and you should feel shame for it. 99% of people could lose weight, but don't. You shouldn't just accept defeat and stop striving to better yourself. Anyway, she did a documentary where she put on 50 pounds just to show people she could lose it all. The thing is, everyone wants to be thin. It's more efficient, it feels better, you can move around easier, you live longer, you have more energy, you look better, etc. No one who's fat is happy about being fat. As a society we shouldn't placate people for their bad traits.

I've heard of her.
She's a right wing POS who routinely makes racist, classist, and anti-immigrant comments. Her entire claim to fame is being on the Apprentice one time and making highly controversial remarks to remain media relevant.
Just a few months ago she called dementia patients "bed blockers" who would be better off dead.
Her opinions of anything are invalid.

I think that's the right wing mindset in general though. The idea of judging someone by their name for example is essentially classist but it's based on the idea that she wants her kids hanging around richer kids because they are more likely to be somehow a better influence
not necessarily an incorrect notion even if it's dickish it might help her get the results she wants
sort of like me not wanting my kids to hang around the gold players because they are ruled by their emotions and the dunning kruger gods get those filthy casuals out of my house
it's essentially a selfish way of thinking. If you are depressed/fat/mexican get life together on your own and if you can't we don't care about you anyway.
it's not very compassionate but you can see where they're coming from. you don't want to deal with troublesome people and don't care about anyone down on their luck unless you found yourself in that situation previously.

This will not be thought-provoking or intellectual. We've had conversations like this before and they are unilaterally bad. This is as a person, specifically one who's read every post in both OT and LLL.
As a mod, discussions about hating groups of people are generally frowned upon and tend to be scrutinized for moderation. They also tend to lead toward people insulting each other and making useless posts, which actually go against TL's Commandments.

I find it very thought provoking. It's basically the right vs left wing mindsets if you'll forgive my generalization. Unless you want to dismiss every conservative as a dumb asshole which would be a large % of people surely you should try to understand their mindset.
you see it's not about hating fat people it's about hating the mindset that it's ok to be fat. In their notion these people don't want to be fat in the first place and they should strive to be a "normal weight" so they'd be happier and fat acceptance is babying them and bad for society.
I mean i can't speak for them but I'd guess it's something like that since its fairly logical.
obviously in their books a fat-acceptance society will lead to a more overweight society which may or may not be true.

Katie's a wonderful voice for the silent majority. She doesn't like tattoos, she thinks fat people are lazy, wouldn't hire people who are fat due to presentation and illness, judges children by their first name, thinks old people shouldn't shop on the weekends because they get in people's way, thinks dumb people shouldn't vote(amen), etc. She's really hammered home that fat people are fat because they're lazy. This is something I've been interested in lately. This ridiculous notion that fat shaming is bad. Being overweight -is- bad for a number of reasons and you should feel shame for it. 99% of people could lose weight, but don't. You shouldn't just accept defeat and stop striving to better yourself. Anyway, she did a documentary where she put on 50 pounds just to show people she could lose it all. The thing is, everyone wants to be thin. It's more efficient, it feels better, you can move around easier, you live longer, you have more energy, you look better, etc. No one who's fat is happy about being fat. As a society we shouldn't placate people for their bad traits. + Show Spoiler +https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ARVUy43lOQ Can we not. Thanks. I'm going to second this wholeheartedly. I'm actually starting to feel moved in to my new apartment and it's amaaaaazing. are you seconding that you hate fat people or that you don't want to talk about hating fat people also do you mean this as a mod or as a free american This will not be thought-provoking or intellectual. We've had conversations like this before and they are unilaterally bad. This is as a person, specifically one who's read every post in both OT and LLL. As a mod, discussions about hating groups of people are generally frowned upon and tend to be scrutinized for moderation. They also tend to lead toward people insulting each other and making useless posts, which actually go against TL's Commandments. I find it very thought provoking. It's basically the right vs left wing mindsets if you'll forgive my generalization. Unless you want to dismiss every conservative as a dumb asshole which would be a large % of people surely you should try to understand their mindset.
The topic is thought-provoking. After 1000s of posts, some of which involve this topic or similar ones, there is no evidence that the conversation that will appear in this thread will be anything less than awful. My concern is not the output of the conversation per se, but rather the result that it will have on this thread.
You're more than welcome to continue the conversation, and the conversation can remain until civility ends. My experience in this thread is the end of civility will come rather quickly, so (as a mod) I'm putting out that warning before any official action needs to take place.
Edit: AND on a personal note, I hate reading these things in this thread because (again) they tend to make me both angry and sad. So I'd like to avoid that personally.

looking briefly at her wikipedia it seems she's a upper/middle-class private school overachiever I'm not sure she's playing a character any more than we all are.

Her wikipedia says she is a personality, she literally puts on a persona for television and media because it keeps her in the limelight and paid so she'll say whatever she can that makes people spread her name around, any publicity is good publicity for her personality.

neil degrasse tyson is a tv personality doesn't mean he isn't also a scientist albeit not a highly distinguished one.
everyone puts on a persona to some extent. i'm not saying katie hopkins walks around the house hating immigrants all day but they get her on because she has those views and obviously enough people agree with them that she still gets put in front of the camera.
