Go to a local antique dealer and ask them what to do and what it would be worth

Research is the only way to know for sure. Check out e-bay and see what they are selling for. The more research you do to find out the era it is from, the shape it is in, etc will help you to come up with a good price. Luckily today with the Internet these answers are easily found. I would try selling it at Craigslist.com first because you would advertise in your area for them to pick it up with no shipping involved, something that large would be a problem. There is also antique shops and interior design shops, take a pic and send it around with an attached letter as to its history and price. Turn of the century home and B&B are always interested in authenticity. Good luck.

They make good outdoor planters, this is about it. Unless your willing to go through the trouble to refinish the tub and put in the money for the piping, they're really not worth much. Before you think of E-Bay, think of the postage or shipping of a 600 pound article. It would be more then the tub is worth.
You see them all over our area in the front yards full of flowers.

Phone a local salvage company and ask them how much they would give you for it or check for antique baths on e-bay

Check Ebay....see what they're selling for.
Next, do a broad internet search of claw bathtubs...see what they're selling for.
Finally...post on Ebay, Craig's list...etc..
