Best place to find value of camera/lens

I have an old Minolta XG7 camera with 50 mm lens and an 80-200 mm lens to go with it that I want to sell maybe on Craigslist but have absolutely no idea what I might ask for them. Everything is in great condition. Is there a site out there that might tell me the value (if any) of these items? I doubt the camera is worth much but thought maybe someone might need/use the 80-200 mm lens. If you tell me they probably aren't worth anything then I won't even bother listing them.

Thank you for your help in this.

You could check completed auctions on eBay. Or take a look at KEH.

A second on the opinion to searching eBay for your equipment and seeing if there have been completed auctions of the same. I took a very quick look and would say it's worth trying to sell, but may not bring a whole lot.

I actually prefer selling my old gear on eBay rather than Craig's list, but maybe more a personal preference. Once the ad is placed it seems eBay seems to be less hassle and has a larger group of shoppers that might be interested.

Almost anything will sell on EBay! But do check out what KEH and Adorama would give you as a baseline.
Good luck -
