After several years I have compiled the best of the best sites to help you find what your junk is worth!
I just opened this site so more links are coming. In mean time if you have books, clothes, jewerly, dolls. The ebay boards is the way to go. Clothes and jewelry there are so many sometimes there are no clear answers, but they can help you.

EBay Discussion Boards
forums.ebay.com/category/Ebay-Discussion-Boards/2001
This is one of the best ways to find what you have for anything! Don't over look these boards, I have used most of them and people are happy to help. Remember to be courteous. These people do not get paid to help you, they are collectors that are happy to help. First make sure you have a image host like photobucket. You need to post a picture if you want an answer. Signing up for Ebay is free and it's well worth it to get the help you need
