I will also consider this, though in most cases if I have more than 4x of an expensive card, it's because I'm using them in a deck. So less likely to want to, but definitely won't mind anyone asking.

Just out of curiosity, do you happen to have any foreign cards you're trying to find a way to deal with? I've bought large collections in that past that came with handfuls of foreign cards which I don't want to keep. I'm considering posting in here seeing if anyone who wants a specific language is willing to do one-for-one trades. I think they'll be otherwise difficult to move.
As to condition, I don't collect anything worse than LP, nor will I send anyone MP or worse cards, unless they specifically don't care. And I'm pretty picky about the lines between those three. Cards quickly become LP with anything more than a couple small nicks, and they quickly become MP with any amount of substantial wear. (Once you get to MP, there's a lot of room for damage before it becomes HP, and similarly, most really yucky cards can be considered HP, not damaged.) I am willing to send scans of cards that I feel are on the line between those conditions if you'd like to see.
That all said, if we do a trade of a couple hundred cards, and a half dozen 10 cent cards arrive in what I'd call MP, I'm not going to make a big deal out of it!
What's your stance on condition for your own collection? Are you fine with MP cards, especially if they're older? Or do you also want only very clean cards?
