You'll get the most money if you put out an ad in the Bargain finder and do all the grunt work yourself. L&M (or any music store) will underpay you for the guitars, because they have to sell them at a profit, theres also no garauntee that they even want your guitars.
Back to the OP, Stang gave you some good advice. As far as how a Les Paul through a Marshall will sound, well, it sounds great, a very classic combination. However, my concern is that you seem to expect to get that tone through the equipment you've expressed interest in and I hate to burst your bubble when I say you can't do it. In fact, I can't see that set-up sounding very good at all and you can spend your money alot smarter.
The classic gibson/marshall set-up would cost ~$3500 for starters, A Marshall half-stack alone would cost ~3K (stupidly overpriced, these companies waaaay overcharge because of their glorious Rock'n'Roll tradition). I have always thought of the Les Paul Studio as an Epiphone thats made in Nashville, so save a couple hundred bucks and shoot for an Epiphone. The last peice of advice that I can give is to take your time with buying equipment and really get educated, it generally takes me 1-2 months to buy a new guitar/amp.
Happy Hunting.
