The normal going rate for used equipment is around half price of what it cost new (if it is in good shape). You mite get lucky and get a little more for it, but people don't wont to pay anything for used equipment (trust me, I know all about it), I have a lot of used stuff for sale, but no one wont to give me anything for it (so I'll keep it).

You can't find anyone that lives near you that knows about helis to help you? Have a look here, there mite be someone that lives close to you, if there is, I'm sure they would be more then willing to give you a hand.

Your main problem is that it is a very old heli. The parts are scarce at best. You can find them if you want to fly it, or sell it on ebay or RCU marketplace. Someone would want it for parts. Can't tell you what you will get for it, but make sure you tell them exactly whats wrong with it and show as many pictures as practical.

I have sold used stuff a lot. I have always gotten good prices on it. You have to have realistic expectations though. Your not going to get new price for it when its outs of production. It would basically be bought for the parts on it.
