<p>In today's age, the only value of a guide book is what's the value of the actual book itself. And this only seems to refer to guide books published 20-30+ years ago. Those who are heavily into their collecting interests would collect these guide books to get a rough idea of trends, especially corrections in trends, etc.</p>

<p>Aside from bidding sites the only other places that I can think of that will give a rough idea of the worth of an item would be on line clubs or societies that specialize in those interests. The values can be updated easier and quicker. And by sites I mean the ones that are narrowly focused and not “generic”.

<p>Other than eBay you can sometimes access other bidding sites (e.g. art dealers, gun brokers, coin dealers, etc.) that still have previous auction/sales accessible.Here again it a rough idea, e.g. you look at a bunch of "collectibles" and they're worth a nickel except for the one worth five dollars, then that one might be the one that's valuable.</p>
<p>In the end, if you have the rarest "ka-ka-poo" in the world and can't find a market for it, then dust it off and enjoy it!</p>
