You can get a ballpark idea of how much extra you stand to make looking at the KBB prices, although plan to come down off that price some in negotiating.
I did the KBB dealer offer thing. Had a local dealer offer me 45k for mine. Ending up selling it private for 53k.

I tried the similar thing through Trucar which is how I got the offer I have now. Went to the first dealer that contacted me and they looked at the car and handed me an offer good for 3 days. I told them I was still shopping it around but they were very interested and said they would match other offers. Looking at KBB now and it is about the same.
I tried Carvana first and it "stumped" their automatic appraisal system. A few weeks later I got a very low ball offer for around $51k after contacting their support to ask why I hadn't received anything yet.
