Good morning, Barry.

By definition, something is worth whatever someone will pay you for 
it.  So if you really and truly want to know what your items are 
worth, put them up on ebay with a US$1.00 starting bid and no 
reserve.  Or, set the minimum bid to whatever the shipping charge is, 
and offer free shipping (becomes more difficult if you offer 
world-wide shipping since costs vary).

Of course you run the risk of not getting what you'd like for the 
items, but at least you'll know what their true market value is at 
that point in time.  Whether you like ebay or not, they are the 
biggest with the widest audience, and you will get as close an 
approximation as you can get of the true market value.
