A little research using ShutterBug or the internet should provide a good
guide.

Even if you didn't feel comfy setting a price, you could have listed
them here as "best offer". While not exactly an auction, this at least
would give you an idea of what people were willing to pay. If you
didn't think the "best offer" was high enough, you could still say no,
politely, and put them up on eBay.
