Are 26” tubes still as valuable as gold for bike shops?

I remember at the beginning of the pandemic bike shops could not get their hands on 26” inner tubes. Is that still the case? I just found 4 boxed up in my garage and figured I’d throw it out there to see if a shop might want them before tossing them.

I can't imagine they'll say no. If you wait until mid July, they might even buy them from you /s
