Glad this post came up..

In the near future I'll be helping a neighbor dispose of her Husbands
estate, there's a pair of Goodell-Pratts in reasonable shape... One's more
full featured than the other... what's an honest price for them...


That depends. One factor in estate disposal is often getting the stuff
out the door in a timely manner, which may mean a rather different price
than what a collector or even user would pay as top dollar - doesn't
have to, if you can find the right buyers, but it can be a factor - and
sometimes bigger is cheaper here (in part because you may have to
realistically include the buyer paying rigging costs if it's in a bad
spot.)
