A common question posted to the View-Master discussion group is "How much is this old View-Master stuff I found/inherited worth?"
As with many collectables it all depends on the details of what you have.
If you are looking to sell your View-Master stuff, your best bet to get a good price is selling it via eBay. There are many View-Master collectors who browse there often.
Do some research to find out what you have. For Viewers, a
good identification resource is:

The most common questions are about the most common viewer, the Model C. This viewer is very common because it was so well constructed. It's worth in the $7 to $12 range.
