Perhaps you could get a repair person to give you an estimate (as best they can) for the repair. I would estimate that this lens would be worth something like $400 in pretty good condition, with excellent being about what Tom mentioned.
Depending on the cost you might break even or make $100 on it, who knows. Of course that will depend on how bad it is, and real value will depend on whether it is repairable to a good state (eg. glass coatings not etched).
Alternatively, you might be able to clean it yourself. It will depend on which elements are infected, and how easy/hard they are to disassemble. Care to post a couple of pictures of the lens?
...Depending on how bad it is I might even be tempted to give cleaning it a go, if you wanted to sell it.
