If it's tuned and in good shape in the action etc you could maybe put an ad in the paper for 1000 obo.

If its a real piece of garbage, the cost for putting an ad in the paper may be enough to make you not want to sell it. 

Say more about your instrument -maybe post a photograph.
pies, are you thinking about moving on up to a grand?  ...or just a newer upright?

I would say if you are offered 500, take it quickly...

You are not going to get too much money.. but it is beautiful! you may want to keep it around for the furniture aspect.

pies, that looks to be more like a spinet or a reeeeaally short studio piano rather than an upright.  People typically dont buy those because... .well.... because they suck.. 

Dont sell it. you probably wont get any offers unless you say something stupid like, 100$ obo, and even that kind of offer takes a very specific consumer group not too easy to find.  You may as well just keep it in case you feel like playing again sometime.  It's really too bad your only piano experience is on a spinet.  They are truely the worst kind of pianos.  Ive played them and seriously I think drumming my fingers on a desk was more enjoyable and educational as far as music training goes.

Spinets always have lousy action and shotty capacity for repeated notes - no matter how well upkept it is and the dymanics usually go from really quiet to really really quiet seeing as the sound rarely escapes the cabinet.  Or, it can be designed such that the sound comes back right in your face all the time and thus the sound is always annoyingly bright.  But I guess this is a problem with all uprights. (especially yamaha) 

Haha fun idea with the thumbtacks, but think about those strings!
