Value of Weatherby scope

[Steeleco]

I'm trying to help the widow of a friend who recently passed.

I'd like an idea as to what this scope is worth. The glass is very clear, simplex recticle, and has a small mark on the outside of one of the bells. Slight ring marks I'd guess in 80% cond.
It will be for sale soon, once a fair value is found.

All advice appreciated. Cheers Steeleco

[Why not?]

Sell it on eBay if you want to get her the highest price. That one looks like a 2-7 Imperial and I have seen them go for more than $300 US.

Here's one that sold recently:

You can buy better optics for the same money, but there are so many guys wanting to put vintage Wby scopes on old Wby rifles that they command very high prices.
