Without pictures and a better description it's about impossible to determine a fair value. BTW, welcome to the Nation.

I would do some comparing to items listed on gunbroker and gunsinternational and rate mine accordingly. A quick search shows german 300's range from 1100-1999 list pricing. Without close up photo's to rate the wood/metal/blue condition it's hard to gauge. Also depends on how bad you wish to move it, prices have really gone stagnant for something that's not a rare gem. Allot of 300's on the market right now seems like so supply/demand isn't in your favor for a premium, as it's not the most sought after caliber - to many ole farts like me have plenty 300's! LOL

If you want to expose it and see like others put it out there and you can always come down. If that's a gloss leupold you can figure about 250-350 depending on condition as well. But again the market will dictate that just trying to find a starting point. Anyone can list stuff fairly easily on gunsinternational with a flat fee, they don't do percentages of sale like gunbroker, now it doesn't get the overall exposure but for something like this it might.

Just my 2cents for what it's worth, hope you get what your looking for,

How would you rate your Mark V German made 300 Wby? The overall condition of the rifle will be will be a big consideration for most buyers, as was noted by txaggie. The list below is just a sample of some of the details that will help to sum up the value of the firearm you're trying to sell. Sometimes the actual description of a rifle (worded portrayal) doesn't tell the whole story so detailed pictures are necessary to convince a buyer. One mans 95% pristine may be another mans 80%, so be as straightforward with your description and close up photos as possible. Pointing out flaws or perceived flaws goes a long way (honesty) in the eyes of a buyer.
   This is not the be-all/end-all list of standers, just a sample of considerations.
Addendum: Include description of scope

NRA MODERN GUN CONDITION STANDARDS:

NEW: Not previously sold at retail, in same condition as current factory production.
PERFECT: In New condition in every respect.  (Jim's note - in my experience, many collectors & dealers use "As New" to describe this condition).
EXCELLENT: New condition, used but little, no noticeable marring of wood or metal, bluing perfect, (except at muzzle or sharp edges).
VERY GOOD: In perfect working condition, no appreciable wear on working surfaces, no corrosion or pitting, only minor surface dents or scratches.
GOOD: In safe working condition, minor wear on working surfaces, no broken parts, no corrosion or pitting that will interfere with proper functioning.
FAIR: In safe working condition but well worn, perhaps requiring replacement of minor parts or adjustments which should be indicated in advertisement, no rust, but may have corrosion pits which do not render article unsafe or inoperable.

its been shot very little over the last 30 years that i have had it.
Im on the second box of shells since owned.
I also took it to Weatherby in South Gate when I bought it.. and had them go throught the rofle before I shot it.
Its not that i dont trust a seller. but its that I dont trust anyone. LOL
Its been in a heard case since ive owned it, it beatiful condition.
but I did use it a few time deer hunting and i carried a sidearm which hit the stick and left a few marks.
As far as price, i guess i can start at $1600 and take it from there. I dont have to sell, so Im not in a hurry.
if someone wants it, ill part. its been so long since I shot it

not an unrealistic starting point, always better if you want to sell and do not need to sell and can wait. The market will pick back up with supply and demand will swing in favor of sellers - always does.

good luck - nice looking german rifle you have sir;
