I don't know if this is what you mean by "value," but you can find the cost of his paintings at his online gallery:

Also, if you do a Google search for painting appraisals, a lot of stuff comes up:

Thomas Kinkade 'paintings' (actually they are prints that some studio slaves slopped some paint onto) are worth about 1/10th of their retail price the second you pay for them. His work is one of the great scams of the last few decades. There are THOUSANDS of prints in EACH edition and there are hundreds of editions. It is decorative trash of the worst kind, and there is NO re-sale market. If you paid $3000 for one of these framed pieces of junk you paid $2,865. too much. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, you probably bought it because you thought it was 'pretty', but you were taken.
Caveat Emptor.

Go to eBay and search his name under paintings. See what they have been selling for on the resale market. Also, there are several art auction websites found in Google.com. Kinkade is very oversold so the resale value of his works is very good compared to the price you pay for his works.

Try getting a hold of the Antiques Roadshow. They have a show where they travel and they have professional appraisers to give you a detailed description. It helps if you know the history of the painting.

Go to your local christian bookstore or walmart. I don't know anyone else who would buy his stuff besides walmart christians. His work is truly uninspired.
