A client of mine is selling one of these (his father was a math professor at MIT and used it often). He is now moving and needs to sell it.  What could it be worth today?  I see them going pretty high on some auction sites. Best place to sell? Ebay?

Hello Wayne,
 
I think much regarding the value depends on the type (size, box, keys or sliders, one or two registers, ... ), the location and the condition (both cosmetic and mechanical - repairing these things is not for the faint of heart). Lots of pictures are a must. Generally, these calculators are more in demand in Europe, but getting them here out of the USA is a bit of a logistical nightmare. 
Ebay may indeed be the safest bet, if you cannot find any takers here.

Sorry that (apparently) you haven't received a reply. I'm not much help, being far more interested in the technology than value, but I can assure you that Millionaires are likely to have significant value, unless my memory is badly scrambled!

eBay seems like a good place, but, do be careful.

Best regards, and good luck!
