What is the standard method of researching the current fair market value of something.?

Question

I'm currently looking to post an ad for a couple of 1982 cars which the Kelly Blue Book doesn't go back that far for the appraisal option...so I thought I would ask if anyone knew the easiest way to learn the average selling price for anything specified when looking to post a private party seller's ad.

Answer 1

Look in auto sales publication, find the vehicles you are selling and see what the going asking prices are.  In Canada, we have something called autotrader.ca, which is a website for auto sales.  You can enter the criteria and find listings for a particular car.  I do not know what the American equivalent is, but I have no doubt that such an equivalent exists.
