It depends on where you are located. With more information I can try to get you the best answer. Post back with an update. Thanks!
According to this article, bags of 1000 go for between $4 and $10 on eBay. wellkeptwallet.com/
Do you have the regular silver pop tabs or any decorated colored ones? Price is vary.
A website sourced below said a gallon of tabs is around 4,000 tabs
Latest price I see on eBay for 3,000+ tabs went for $8 + shipping

Another one for more 10,000+ went for $31.30 with free shipping
These items recently sold yesterday! To see more: www.ebay.com/
(or search on eBay Aluminum pop tops, left hand side show only completed and sold items and you'll get a rough idea of how much they go for. People buy these to make craft projects)
Lastly if you don't want to sell on eBay you can check your aluminum recycling center and see if they will accept your tabs for recycle and how much per the pound then you can weigh it.
You can also try to list on Facebook, NextDoor, Craigslist etc if you are trying to sell.
Or you can even make a craft project instead :)
For some unknown reason the myth that money can be made from selling pop can tabs has been around for many years. Although; checking the Internet will supply the truth along with all of the myths.
When checking eBay for sold quantities, there are a few sales but for very low prices. Checking sold on eBay will give you what is probably the most current value - the price someone will pay for pop can tabs. It should be noted that most of the sales are for tabs with the middle curly part removed - which is tedious and time consuming.

From the eBay information site/link:

"The first thing you need to know to make your pop can tabs more marketable is that you should be taking a needle nose pliers to every tab and removing the curly part in the middle that can get hooked on other pop can tabs."
In case you are wondering how many tabs are in a gallon (really depends on if the middle curly part has been removed).

Many people save them for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
