reel mowers are useful only if the blades are easy to sharpen and new they can be as little as $60 on Amazon, generally $100 or so, rarely more than that

Reel mowers are specialty items meaning they are not very often considered real collector's items and can only be used by a very small section of people.

They still sell but are usually considered to be very slow sellers. Still, they do sell but value will be based on the brand (well known brands sell better, such as Toro), the condition, number of blades, and are blades in good/new condition. The movers with 5 blades are popular but expensive to replace and also expensive to have sharpened.

You will see some reel mowers listed with shipping costs but many sellers will have pick up only as shipping is expensive and that just adds to what a buyer has to pay for the mower.
Shipping costs is one of the reasons many people opp to list on their local Craigslist so they do not have to ship.

I would suggest you check reel mowers on your local Craigslist and maybe USA4Sale to see if any are selling or if there are even any listed. January is not the best month to try to sell a lawn mower.

Here is a link to the reel mowers that have sold on eBay over the past several months (no King O'Lawn sold) so you can see what different brands are actually selling for.

As to true value it is difficult to state as a lot depends on the condition, where it is located and especially the condition of the cutting blades.
