I agree with Neal regarding his comment on previously recorded sales. I am primarily a set collector and as such, I regularly research the range of prices for various key cards in a set, particularly variations. I look at previous sales using the advanced search option as noted above - but have previously used other sources like Card Target as well. Others on N54 have subscriptions to Vintage Card Prices for older cards & sets. I am unclear on what sets they cover.

Agree also with the comment on using Sterling and some of the other auction houses - depending upon what you are selling. It seems the trend over the last few years to have more of the rare or uncommon items are being sold by auction.
