I am trying to determine the value of this vintage Mercury outboard. Then I will list it on the appropriate forum.

I believe it has more value as a collectible as I realize that a 1972 Mercury that has never been started would require some preparation before being put into use. Thanks

 

If you plan to sell it, I would leave it alone.  A serious collector may have no intention of starting it, and will certainly know what to do/service if they want to run it regularly.   It’s hard to say just what a time capsule like this might be worth, but it surely does have some value.  You need to find local special interest Merc guys.
