Drop leaf dining room table (Duncan Phyfe?)

Description

We want to list it for sale on Craig's List, but I don't know how much it is worth.  If someone can help me with this I would appreciate it.  Overall I would say it is in fair condition, though there is a chunk of wood missing from part of one of the legs assemblies.  You can see this in one of the photos I attached.

There are also three additional leaves and felt backed table protector pads.
