Do you find it worth your time to list junk wax commons FT/FS? Or is it a matter of 'you-never-know-what-collectors-are-looking-for'?

Yes, trade them often going both ways.

Yeap, pretty much every trade I've completed has junk wax involved whether its for player collectors, set builders, master set builders I even take the time for the VARs. Also actively finishing my own junk wax sets. It's worth it to me at least.

Agreed, they're not flying off the shelves and sometimes you have to seek out those that want them (as they don't necessarily go to you since the cards are so available here), but I have traded many over the years to set builders.

Although over produced, some of the coolest cards are from this era. Lots of sets to collect. I love trading them. The values are usually minimal so there's no big negotiation necessary. They are readily available, so I can trade now and not take years hunting down a card I want for a price I can afford. Definitely add them and we can make a trade!

Absolutely. However, I do refrain from adding more than 3 of one card. Anymore than that, they go to thrift stores.

Same here. I add all cards I own. I collect "junk wax" and there are many others here who do as well so always fun to trade.

Absolutely. I trade them often. Sometimes they are good as a throw-in to entice a better trade. For instance if you had 5 cards that equaled $5 and I have the same, I'll toss in 5 or 10 junk wax cards, maybe more.
Plus there are a lot of set builders, team collectors, or people collecting one player's total card run.

I would agree with the others with this caveat:
only if you are seeking same era in trade.
for instance, if you only have 90s common stuff, and only want 2015 and newer, that does not match up very well.
some people will trade outside of eras, but many will stay within similar years

I trade for junk wax all the time, but prefer if people take the time to enter the variations correctly. I'm a master set collector, so trading for the wrong card from the junk era is frustrating.
