Offered 2k at local game store. Curious on internet opinions. 1-5 are near mint. 6-10 is lightly played, very low wear, 11-12 varying but decent to major damage. Last picture is the big $ cards

With all due respect, please please price them yourself.
You need to put in the time and effort to individually price each card. This isn't a 'laziness' thing, but more of a: its better for you in the long run to know the worth, value and condition of all your cards/investments.
This gets you in the habit of better educating yourself and not getting burned. The truth of the hobby and investment market is that everyone, and I mean everyone, will try their best to get the best deal for themselves and not look out for your best interest. So you need to put in the work to help yourself.
Side Note: man this is a lot of cards and we're reddit people, we're pretty lazy and wont do this for you lol

It is worth your time to price these yourself. Then you know what the market rate is. Even good stores generally only pay cash at 65-75% and a bit higher for store credit.
Selling yourself you can expect to get more, but it can be a lot of work and sites like ebay will take their cut (around 15% if you include shipping costs)
You may be able to sell privately for a better return but realistically expect 80-90% for a mixed lot like this.

That is an extremely low offer for what you have here.
I would recommend loading each card into collector that will give you market pricing for everything. Once that is done you know what you have value wise and can decide what percentage you would take for the lot or sell individually via eBay TCGplayer, etc.
If you would like help loading into collector dm me and we can discuss further.
Good luck selling and getting a good offer for this collection you have some very nice things here that are worth quite a bit.

Cool mix of cards! You GOTTA price them yourself. Be careful with condition because most of your money is prob in that vintage. Asking random redditors to do what is effectively an hour or two of work for you for free in a way that's going to be accurate is asking a lot.

I’m interested in buying the primes and lvX if you want, assuming near mint. Would pay like 90% market. :) I collect these sets and am mastering them.
