Going through divorce, please help me, any idea of value?

Really sorry to hear about the kids. You're a standup dad for wanting to remain in their life, and for that I applaud you. I agree with valiantsurf above, in that you should simply value all of the items that you own, and then split that value and the goods down the middle, and you requesting the cars over the appliances.

I separated from my ex at 30, and I ended up giving her everything except the cars and parts, a microwave, my guitars, and a set of pots. We argued about my 68 Barracuda, and she (and her new boyfriend) wanted it. In the end, we agreed to split it up and divvy up the profits. Well, one afternoon after a bunch of beers, I pulled out my air chisel, and cut it up. The first cut hurt, but after that it felt good. I phoned her and told her she could have the whole car except for the hood emblem, which she agreed to. When her and her new beau came to collect the car.. they didn't bring a truck rofl.

I carry that emblem on my key ring to remember my first love.. and the by$%tch that killed her :)
