It might surprise you what people will pay. When I put my new prop on I had two old props I thought I would put on ebay. One similar to yours, the other my old Gori two blade geared folding. My old Gori got about $150 but a bloke paid $400 for the old ungeared one. Could have knocked me over with a feather.
A brand new Gori exactly the same as the one I paid $1300 new sold on ebay for $200 a few months after I had fitted mine.

Not really what I meant. I meant put it on eBay and you might be surprised what you will get.
The style of prop you have there are pretty useless but somebody might want it.

Do you know its diameter and pitch? If you do and it is what he needs it might be worth it to him. A new one will be about $1400 but it will be geared and have a long life. I reckon a fair approach would be he pays what you want, but if it is useless on his boat he can return it.
