$200 - $350, depending on condition and butt style (round or square) and the need of the next buyer to have one.

The last one I bought cost me $250, but it was really tricked out, had a wonderful trigger with trigger stop installed, chamfered cyclinder, bobbed hammer, and was super accurate.  It also came with a good IWB holster.  (It was 3", with square butt.  The round butts are a little more sought-after for CCW use, but don't always get more money.)

I just looked in the Fjestad Blue Book -- maybe a year old -- and it shows $275 for a gun in 98% condition.   $10 premium for HEAVY barrel.  Mine had the heavy barrel.

Jim:
  If you like shooting it and it shoots well, its worth more keeping with the many hours of lifetime pleasure it will give you, unless its a cash crunch scenario.

You need to post a picture, or offer a better description, and put it all in the classified area.  People looking for guns will look there.
