Ebay . . .
John,
The fastest method is to search completed auctions on ebay. This will tell you three things.
1. If a reel shows up, it tells you an actual price realized recently - then compare the sold item to yours - if yours is better you may get more (or it may go the other direction)
2. If a lot of them show up, it tells you your reel is fairly common - and the price range should be pretty clear.
3. If it doesn't show up at all, you may have something that will tweak the interests of collectors - who might then be more inclined to help you with specific values.
I hope this helps! (Sorry but I do not collect any of the reel types you listed)
