I would like to know what a 3 year old Ridenour Lyrique Pro model clarinet in good condition might be worth?

You didn't mention whether the Lyrique in question is the C, B-flat, or A version. The C and A can be expected to fetch a higher price than the B-flat.
Without a mouthpiece the 576BC B-flat clarinet sells new for $960. In used, mint condition, these go for $500-$700.

The mouthpiece should be somewhat immaterial. It's available just about anywhere. A used 5RV shouldn't add more than $30 or so to your asking price for the instrument. You might go to that Unmentionable Auction Site and search concluded auctions. I think I got about 600-or so for mine, but mine was a little newer when I sold it. I don't remember exactly what I asked for it. I sold it endof alst year/beginning of this year.
OK, I just checked my PayPal account. I got about 600 for it, plus shipping Down Under.

i sold one (mint, in Bb, with Ridenour artistic mouthpiece) on that auction site for something like 900. it went a bit higher than expected because i offered free shipping to anywhere in the world.. and i ended up having to ship it to Europe which cost me like $100.
