Options for selling low end leftovers from collection

Looking for thoughts on how to sell the low end (<$2) leftovers from my collection without going to the effort of doing team/player lots. Everything north of $3+ is either already gone, being kept, or being sold via COMC or consigner.
Approximately 25,000 - 30,000 cards in total.

Rough breakdown:
5000 2018 Topps RCs/inserts from update boxes or sets.
8000 2019 Topps RCs/inserts from update boxes or sets.
3400 2020 Topps RCs/inserts from S1 boxes or sets.
1100 2019 Bowman Mega refractors
2000 2020 Bowman Mega refractors
3000 2019 Bowman Heritage (paper + chrome)
2200 2020 Bowman Heritage (paper + chrome)
800 2018 Topps Holiday (vets only)
600 2019 Bowman Sapphire
600 2020 Stadium Club
400 2020 Topps turkey red
400 2020 Topps Heritage minor
600 2019-20 NBA Prizm/Mosaic
200 2018 NFL Donruss Optic

I've seen one or two WTBs in that subforum that might clear out 1000-3000 but that still leaves a lot leftover.

I emailed my closest LCS and while he said they buy all different types of collections, they did ask me to have a number in mind before they get started so they know if its even going to be worth looking at. I'm not really sure what number to put on it.

A couple more targeted questions:
Do the low-mid end paper Topps RCs have any value in bulk? That's probably half of the total cards. The stuff has already been picked over (by me), so they're not going to find many/any Ohtani, Soto, Acuna, Judge, Tatis, etc. But there's 50-100 RCs of guys like Max Fried, Sandy Alcantara, Sean Murphy, Gleyber Torres, etc (admittedly its mostly guys who aren't even in the league anymore.
Does the shiny stuff have a bulk market? Thinking specifically about 2019 + 2020 Bowman Mega mojos, 2019 + 2020 Bowman Heritage Chrome, and 2019 Bowman Sapphire, thats probably close to 5000 cards as well. This has also been picked over.
Would you split out all the low end colors/numbered/autos and try to sell that separately? Does that make it much harder to sell the other stuff? Its probably a couple hundred across all the different sets.

Hope this isn't viewed as an attempt to skirt WTB/WTS subforum rules, genuinely trying to see options and potential values.
