I always find these threads interesting. Someone asks for opinions on pricing and then if prices aren't where they want it to be, they are 't happy. Look, if you want to really sell the car, do some research on recent sales and then ask whatever you want. It is easier to lower the price than it is to raise it. The market will tell you what it is worth. There will always be examples of a great price and others that seem way too high because someone was willing to pay more of a premium for a car they wanted.
To not list the car on this website would be silly, its just another avenue to get people interested in it. Who comes to this site? People interested in Marauders. Doesn't mean the buyer will come from here, but someone may direct them to it from here and its just another listing to help search results.
As for the quote below, sure they are getting rarer and rarer but that does not have a linear equivalence to value. If that was the case these cars would already be worth way for than they are. They were $35k brand new, that is about $48k in today's dollars so even a $10k MM is worth only around 20% percent of its original value. A 1970 4 door Cutlass with a manual 3 speed is quite rare and is worth more for its parts [by comparison a 1970 442 convertible that original cost $3,700 ($24k in today's dollars) is worth $75 - $100K in great condition].
I hope the MMs increase in value too, but performance-wise they are light-years away from what you can buy today. In the end, its simple, the market sets the price, not one or two individuals opinions on this forum or a few outlier sales on the low end or high end.
Just my $0.2
