I would advise you to take the instrument to a reputable dealer. The value of your instrument will depend on its condition. Some of these factors involved will include: wood or plastic, how worn the silver, pads and corks are, are there any air leaks. The dealer would also help you assess the age of the instrument if it is unknown.
