This one is asking $320. m.ebay.com/
If you are valuing for insurance, you may want to contact one of the many galleries that offers appraisals, like this one (I have not yet had the opportunity to deal with them, just one found in my research periods):

If you are valuing to sell...when researching online, especially eBay, make sure you ONLY use SOLD auctions as your guide and that the item is an EXACT match to yours.
There are many similar items and there is a wide range of values that is why it is critical to locate an EXACT match (with numbered pieces exact means in that numbered series--knowing that a lower number or last number may fetch slightly more than a higher).
Today there are 27 cottage by the sea listings in eBay completed and they are all different, if you filter that down to sold, there are only 7:

Without knowing the exact size, condition, status of COA, etc. of yours it is hard for me to give you an approximate value (selling price) of yours.
When you are doing your look, if there are several of the EXACT items sold with slightly different prices, then you may want to start your auction at the average price, in a 30 day fixed auction, where you offer the buyer the option to bid a best offer.
Remember if you are tying to sell this online, shipping is a bear and expensive. You may be better off selling through an in person venue, like a consignment store or NextDoor, Facebook Marketplace, Craig's List, etc.
Hope this helps!
It appears that Thomas Kinkade pictures are slowly losing value (according to Antiques Roadshow) as there are so many (all sizes/material) available and it was stated they would be reluctant to state a price as it seems to be changing daily. It seems that only original (very expensive) paintings are selling for any real money.
As a group, Kinkade pics don't seem to acquire or maintain value, mainly because they were overproduced by franchise art studios and so unless you have one made by him original, probably not worth much as an investment per se
but someone might like it and buy it for that reason I personally think they are lovely looking in spite of what this jaundiced and somewhat negative article here says: www.thestreet.com/
"The self-proclaimed and trademarked "painter of light" was so popular among fans of pastels and candlelit windows that his company, Media Arts Group, went public with a $110 IPO in 1994. Kinkade was MDA on the NYSE until January 2004, when he bought in back for $32.7 million after the stock had lost more than 80% of its value. It was kind of like buying a Kinkade painting that may have had some nonsentimental value in the pre-Internet '90s, but when the Internet hit and the markets were flooded with Kinkades selling for much less than they were in stores, investment value plummeted.
"He has gorgeous stuff, but they QVCed it to death," Kahn says. "They sell beautiful Kinkade prints in galleries and on cruise ships, but the frames are worth more than the prints.""
