What something is "worth" is a subjective question. It depends on people's feelings about the book and the author and the history of the book.
What something has been sold for is objective. Its a real transaction that is measurable.
I think that you would get more valuable information from actual recent sales than from someone's subjective opinion.

You could try www.abebooks.com or www.abebooks.co.uk
However, some of the books tend to be a bit overpriced, so don't expect to get a good price unless your books are in excellent condition.
If your books are first editions, or particularly rare you should manage a reasonable amount for them on ebay.
I agree with the previous contributors; any commodity is only worth what it is being bought / sold for, as a general rule.
