Hey all. I'm looking for a good online store that I can do bulk orders of mainly older cards at reasonable prices.
Any ideas?

Better than trollandtoad in my opinion for BULK buying.

Depends on what you're looking for. Ebay sucks for buying commons and uncommons. I had to order some old girafarigs for my collection and they were like $1-$2 a piece for these old garbage commons whereas on TnT I ordered everything I needed (commons, rares, RHs) for under $5.
If you want newer cards though, avoid TnT like the bubonic plague. Point and case - Darkrai EX for $80. Straight up retarded.

I usually compare Troll and Toad with Stop 2 Shop before I make an order. They both can vary vastly between each other, and will usually switch on and off between the two. I like Stop 2 Shop most because it has quicker shipping and usually cheaper Commons/Uncommons, but Troll and Toad usually has cheaper rares.
Yeah, eBay really is atrocious for cards of lesser value (commons, uncommons, non-holo rares); I think there's a $1 minimum price on Buy it Now listings.
T&T is good for non-holo rares and holos, but professor-oak does have the 25 for $5 deal for which a lot of commons and uncommons are eligible. For anything that costs more than $0.50 on professor-oak, T&T and GamingETC are generally better options IMO.
If you're impatient T&T and GamingETC are also not bad for chase cards, but you can usually snag better deals on eBay auctions if you're willing to wait for them. Somebody brought up Darkrai-EX, but I personally don't think the prices on the hottest new chase cards that everyone is rushing to get for their decks, like Darkrai-EX or Mewtwo-EX a couple of months ago, should be indicative of T&T's prices in general. Darkrai-EX is selling for nearly that much on eBay right now too because Dark Explorers hasn't been officially released yet.

I'm looking for mostly bulk commons/uncommons from old sets (I'm building a cube). Troll is where I had been buy up until now, but a 25 for $5 deal of Prof. Oak seems really good.

A cube is like a custom draft format with which you choose the cards you want to add to it. It's a very common thing with MtG (which I have a cube for), and since I don't get to Pokemon as often as I used to, I thought it would make for a good alternative 
Plus, I can also play with my favorite cards from over the decades.
