In-car GPS and Old Magic TCG questions

Two completely separate questions.
1. I'm thinking about getting a Tom Tom or something similar and was looking for someone who has used them for a recommendation. Quick to program is a huge plus.
2. I am going through and getting rid of a bunch of stuff I had put in storage boxes and just never re-opened. I found what I would guess to be around 500, maybe more Magic: The Gathering cards. It seems like most are pre-5th edition. There are the occasional later editions(around 7th and 8th, I think) in there, but they're all still pretty old now. They range from just-out-of-the-box to frayed-around-the-edges-but-not-bent.
The question: Can I sell them for 20+ dollars somewhere, or should I just toss them out? I'm really just looking to get rid of them and not spend much time on the project, but I have no idea how much they're worth. I'm a short drive from Kansas City, and I've seen some gaming stores there but I don't know if thats even a smart move to sell to them there.

I think most people here (myself included) like the Garmin models over TomTom. I've used both, and find the Garmin interface and voice navigation much better.
I got a TomTom a couple of years ago, and it programmed pretty easily. However, after a little over a year the power button ceased functioning, so it doesn't work anymore. When it worked it was super useful though.
I like my Garmin 255w a lot as well. Not hard to use (though it feels sometimes like you're diving through 10 menus in a row) and the presentation is very attractive and overall it works incredibly well. Often gets the address much more accurate than google maps (though tends to suggest some very stupid routes that google maps would never consider).
The database of places is incredibly useful even as incomplete as it sometimes is.
I was in your position with MTG stuff a few years ago. I ended up doing a straight up trade of my MTG collection for his Overpower collection (god I miss that game). Turned out I had a couple rather valuable cards in the collection, but I don't regret the trade. Anyway, the simplest option for the MTG stuff would be to unload it on a local hobby/comic/card shop. eBay is another option. If you want to put a little effort into getting rid of them, though, you might want to peruse MOTL (specifically the price guide) and see if you have anything of value. There's a section in the forums for sales, but look over the rules as they can be sticklers about them. Some of that stuff might be of value to collectors.
TCG cards make great bookmarks, and unless you have some singles that are particularly rare/sought after that's about all they are worth, too, unfortunately.
