I don't think there is a direct price advantage but like curb appeal, it makes it easier to sell a house and may help you get your asking prices.

A agree with most of the answers thus far.
However, I would add two thoughts. If your house is an older house, or is built/styled in a Victorian or similar style, then crown molding might be appropriate. However, for most other styles, I believe this will look out of place.
Second, most Realtors I have spoken to advise against anything that is limiting in nature. For example, I went to a house that had a red carpet in the front room (and I mean RED). While the rest of the house was nice, the impact of the red was very limiting and we would have wanted to pull that carpet out almost immediately if we bought the house. While crown molding isn't as egregious as red carpet, it does impose a design choice on the next buyer.
So, only do it if it is appropriate to the style and size of house.

It depends. Is your house large enough to support crown moldings. ANd remeber any thing you do to your home you have to think about how your are limiting the market. For example if you add a pool, not every one likes pools, families with you childern may not lookat your home becasue of the pool and the fear of the childern maybe drowning. What you do to you home limit s ths buyers that may want to look at your home. So I would keep it neat clean and don;t get to carried away. Now if your house is an old historic or very large rooms and high ceilings the crwon molding may give it a little warmer feel and that can be a plus in the market palce.

Only if the ceilings are high enough 10' or so. There must be some proportion to it. 5 1/2" crown is to tall for standard 8' ceilings. It must also be installed properly, remember this should be a "furniture quality" job. Most DIY's can't do this.

this is only my thoughts
but crown molding is for a big house it makes it look better
and for a smaller house it makes it look over done and not look so good
