Porting does help considerable when shooting hot loads. Lots of folks don't care for it though, because the gas vented back from the muzzle increases the blast effect substantially. With hot 45-70 loads the blast would guarantee to make your eyes water, if your not wearing hearing protection.
That said, it is a buyer's market right now, even though the second round of Obama sales is in effect. The economy is down, and folks(most folks), just are not spending, unless they are highly collectable.
For the best results, i would list it on the auction side, and start it at $350.00-400.00, and let the market decide. You will have a NATIONAL audience. However, be prepared, as the guide guns didn't take off like Marlin expected. Lots of folks out there didn't, and still don't like obnoxiously loud, hard kicking rifles.

In the woods, it was still excessively loud.
that may be true that YOU did not notice it but you can bet your ear drums sure did
