I can't give you any values, but would suggest searching Gunbroker to see what similar ones are selling for. If you are already signed up with Gunbroker, you can search the completed auctions to see what things have actually sold for, but even seeing what others are offering them for can give you a good starting point.

I've sold a number of firearms on Gunbroker. It's a good bit of work (taking photos, writing descriptions, getting payment and FFL from the buyer, packaging and shipping), so I only sell if I think the local market won't give me the price I'm looking for.

If you are new to Gunbroker and have little or no feedback (or no feedback from selling) it may be more difficult to get a maximum price. I had sold a number of firearm related accessories and had decent feedback before I put my first firearm in the auction.

For items that will sell OK in the local market, I prefer to just put them on consignment with one of the local gun shops. It sometimes took a while, but I've usually gotten the price I wanted when selling on consignment.

Private local sales are an option too if your state allows it, but I've only done private sales in response to someone local seeing my Gunbroker auction, or with people I know. I've never advertised in someplace like a local paper. I've done a trade or two at gun shows, but don't like having to carry something to a show -- and trading can be difficult if you don't have something "generic."

Right now, I wouldn't suggest selling anything. There is a lot of interest in buying and prices are up, but I think demand for anything and everything that shoots bullets will get a lot higher when the next administration starts to push through some of the laws they are planning.

Guns are probably much better than "money in the bank" right now -- especially if you figure inflation.
