Valuation on a 1977 7.5HP Merc Outboard

Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I’m looking to put an outboard up for sale, and I have no idea of its worth.

Background: Purchased it from a friend over ten years ago (original owner). It was stored indoors. When I got it, I made sure it ran as it should, then I stored it indoors after fogging it and changing the oil. The kicker here is that it probably has two hours of total use on it. It looks absolutely brand new. It’s a time capsule from 1977. It’s a pull start only and I believe a short shaft. Never got around to purchasing a boat due to work, life, and other hobbies. Any direction here would be very appreciated!
 
It will need a new impeller before use.-----Wiring is known to deteriorate with time.-----Look on kijiji / craiglist / facebook for similar motors.-------Price varies from $500 to up to a $1000 if proven reliable.
