I have a Howard Miller model 611-015 grandfather clock in great condition; everything works. I just have no idea about clocks and am wondering how much it is worth.

Asking prices go for over $1000 on eBay.
This is a lovely piece. The value is totally dependent on where you are located and what your market is like today.
Are there very few around and a high demand? I have seen sold (NOT ASKING) prices into the low $1,000.
Are you in a high supply, low demand area? I have seen sold prices as low as $150.
That is a huge range! You will be best served by calling around to vintage stores in your town to see how much it would cost to buy one and then you would know retail value in your area.
Then you can price yours knowing you (as an individual) will not get retail value, but maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of that in a private sale (like through Facebook or at an estate sale). You can start high and know you will have to negotiate down.
If the shops you talk to offer consignment (or better yet, pay upfront) that would be your best bet!
Post back what you learn! I hope you are in a high demand, low supply town!
