How or where can I find pipe values?

yep, no place i've seen has a guide on values... and if they did, ebay and estate pipe retailers online would destroy it with 2 minutes worth of searching.

one week you'll see a Stanwell in great condition, old one, reg'd #'s and all, go for $20 on ebay. the next, you'll see one that's the same age, bad condition, it'll go for $65.

i snagged an almost brand new Larrysson Pipe (could still see the wood on the walls) for $127, when it was just bought earlier that year for probably close to $275-300 range.

one guy can find a brand new Ser Jacapo on ebay for $90 if they're lucky... and then turn around and see another for nearly $300.

just depends on the market and if "the guy" in that market sees your pipe for sale, or if you are the only guy to see what you're in the market for.
