I have automotive tools I've inherited that I'm selling. Where do I look to find what they're worth and where

I inherited my dad's old school automotive repair tools, like two snap-on roll-around boxes stuffed with everything imaginable. I don't have a use for 'em but I don't want to just give 'em away either. Where do I look to find what they're worth and where to sell 'em without a big hassle? I'm in northern California and I have the tools in storage in central Arizona, so I don't know if that would make a difference on what I could ask for them. I'm hoping that I don't have to itemize EVERY piece there and I realize that I'd have to give some sort of accurate description of what I got. I don't have a lot of time to invest in trying to sell these, and it'd make it a lot easier if they sold by themselves! What should I do and where do I look?

If you have any craftsman or stanley, these carry a lifetime warranty. Take them to lowes/home depot and exchange them for new tools which will sell at a higher price. As for the other tools it all depends on what you have.
Why not check with Snap-on tools, here is their website: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/catalog.asp They may have a buy back program, or give you selling advice. You may want to call and speak to a person.
do what the first guy said, they do have a life time warranty and you dont even need a repceit
You can get an idea on how much tools are selling for on ebay. You would probably get more if you sold the tools in small lots, rather than the whole lot at once. You can also check www.snapon.com www.matcotools.com www.mactools.com or do a google search for other tool brands. Generally, used tools are worth about half of the new price. If any names have been engraved on the tools, they will be worth less. You can also check with any mechanics you know, or, if you don't know any, ask at a shop, they may be able to help. Good luck!
you can not get old tools replaced under warranty just because they are old, they must be defective. if you have snap-on tools for sale you will have no problem selling them most mechanics even at dealerships have to provide their own tools and are looking for quality tools all the time. you can get an idea off of e-bay of an appropriate price but like anything else you own it is only worth what the highest bidder will pay. if you don't want to fool with selling them try a consignment shop. or look for local swap meets many car enthusiast buy tools and you can enjoy the day admiring their handy work. snap-on tools will sell themselves!
eBay. You can look for similar things on eBay to see prices. You can sell them yourself on eBay. You can go to one of the storefronts where humans leave stuff for the storeowner to auction on eBay.
