4-5 hundred, possibly sell higher.

About $700 for one in really nice shape. looking at Gunbroker the ones starting at $900 or above don’t seem to get any bids.

Take a HARD look at the bore, and check to see if it's loaded before doing anything else.

IF the bore is without pitting, then it may be worth as much as $600-$700 as some have already written. IF the bore is pitted and rough which sometimes is merely having been left alone for a long time, then offer no more than $400, and then send the barrel off to Bob Hoyt, for a reaming and possible re-rifling.
