I have a few thousand common cards...I'm moving and looking to save space. Any ideas?

Ebay will take time and money; local collectors won't pay you anything (if you get $5 for 100 cards, let me know where you go as I am coming too!).
Goodwill isn't a "feel-good" thing either as they will have trouble doing anything with it (more than likely they will collect dust somewhere on some shelf.
I like the one option of giving them to a local kid (cousin, friend-of-the family). If that is not an option, call up the local YMCA, or local church group and ask them to be given to kids aged 6-12. At least you can be assured that they will be enjoyed by someone.

Give them away - if they have little value and mean nothing to you, find a kid who loves baseball and give them to him. He'll probably spend hours looking at them and learning about the game as a result. If you're having a pre-moving sale, put them in a couple of boxes and sell them for a couple of bucks each. Either one works.

You can buy or borrow from the library the book called Beckets Baseball Cards Catalogue. It give you lots of information and trading values. I hope this helps you out.

the comic shop near my house sells sports cards, i sold the dealer back a bunch of junk cards because he uses them in grab bags, so go to a dealer, and see if he will buy your junk cards in bulk, say 5 bucks for every 100 cards.

I know you don't want to throw them away but I'm afraid you're going to have to, they hold no value and they are just taking up space.

Donate them to a kid who collects baseball cards.

I'll take them. I have a ton also and don't mind the extra bulk.
Just throwing it out there.

Sell them in bulk on eBay or a flea market.

Donate them to Goodwill or post them on craigs list that you're giving them away ...
