Looks to be in excellent (clean, unmarked) condition - the baseplate screws are as shiny as any I have. Check Ebay's "Completed listings" for values, that'll give you the best idea.

You won't really know what price you are going to get till you put it up for sale.
With such a niche market item as a Curta you are best to leave it for sale here for awhile with an asking price or put it up on eBay.
You can ether list it for a fixed price, or a reserve auction, or a no reserve auction.
You can always lower your price if your item doesn't sell but you can't raise it if you don't get enough for it.

Yours looks pretty nice, if it was mine I would list it around $1000-1300 and see what happens, if you are in a hurry to sell it, no reserve auction will give you the current market price for it, which may be high or may be low.

If you do go the eBay route, post as many photos as possible, people will be much more likely to bid if they have 10 or 16 good photos to look over, it shows you have taken the time and effort to make your sale as attractive as possible.

Or even spend half an hour going to the trouble of making a youtube video showing your Curta working, it might put you ahead of the other sellers on ebay who haven't done this.

It amazes me how some people will list very expensive items on eBay, with one small picture.


Hope this helps.


Smile
