not a clue. there is one currently listed on CL in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, but I believe the owner's asking price is wishful thinking for what appears to be a partially disassembled unit.

Yes to the right buyer.
I see a lot with very wishful pricing, because vintage, antique, restored or any of the other common "I know what I've got" words.
That is either an 8x8" #4 or 9x10" #5.
A lot of people consider power hacksaws as obsolete but they make nice clean cuts, much straighter than most bandsaws.
If it is fully functional a big hacksaw like that could reasonably sell for $200-500, dependent on local market and somebody local wanting one.
I have a smaller, simpler Keller #3 on legs without the hydraulic assist of the saw in the OP. I paid $250 for mine and have seen others in my area sell for similar amounts.

It all comes down to finding the person who is dying to have one. In general, though, bandsaws have replaced power hacksaws because of their speed.

That is a cool saw. A year or two back the cool youtube kids were all fixing up power hacksaws so maybe some of that residual "gotta have one" is still out there.
I'd give a couple hundred for it if it were near me.
