I have no idea on the value, but one thing I'd point out is that the hingebacks are humid shady forest dwelling creatures. The picture you have is of a completely dry hingeback on rabbit pellets, a totally unsuitable environment for the species. This species is notorious for difficulties in captivity, and much of that is attributed to improper housing. A person who knew what they were looking for (and hence was prepared to pay for it) would be quickly deterred from an already difficult species housed improperly, attributing to further future problems.
