I have a Thomas Kinkade painting. I would like to know if anyone could help me out on what it's worth. It's a 1995 The End of a Perfect Day III 1669/4850 S/N Paper. It's 24 by 36 and I have the Certificate of Limitation & Authenticity paper.
Thank you.

This one is asking $1500.
I'd take $800.00 just need the money thanks
This one does not match your frame, so it is not a full apples to apples match--it SOLD recently on eBay for best offer with the starting price of 1575.00 with an over 200 shipping charge. There is a website that tells exactly what the best offer was and it was 1,300. Always use sold values, never asking. People can ask what they want for something. Value is only what someone will actually pay.

Now the one that sold is different series than yours and is an artist proof piece (and has a different frame as I mentioned above) so this may or may not be what you can expect to get from yours.
The challenge with Kincade pieces are there are so many variables for the same title print that unless you are an expert and know every detail you and I may have the exact same picture name and yours could be worth thousands and mine worth nothing. It is so frustrating!!
The next step since you need the money is to sell it.
I just discovered someone wrote a Wiki on how to sell Kincade paintings:

The one thing I disagree with is selling them on eBay for two reasons...
One is if you are not an established seller there has been a huge amount of fraud going on on eBay and it is triggered by items that where the seller wants a larger.
Two is shipping a glass framed item is a nightmare and you have about a 50/50 chance it will arrive at the new owner destroyed. I am not joking. If you can sell in a venue that avoids shipping, do it.
The best way to sell these are the suggestions about art houses and auctions. Consignment stores or reputable vintage shops (if they have sold these pieces before) are just as good an option.
Post back with an update on your sale!! Hope you fetch lots for it!!
