From the research I've done, a copy of this game is valued at between $80 and $100.
This is a subject I'm pretty familiar with, and I would gently suggest that your research is flawed. You may have found a reference book or two that quoted such a figure, but the truth is that when the game turns up on Ebay, it just doesn't go for that much. I think there have been people here who've picked up copies for less than ten bucks.
It's rare, yes.
One of the rarest. There just aren't a lot of people around who want it. The fact that a piece is missing certainly doesn't help matters, but it's impossible to say whether you might find a buyer out there who doesn't mind as long as the box looks good. If you're really lucky, you'll find two would-be buyers that start a bidding war.
If you're not comfortable letting it go at any price, put in a reasonable reserve, something you'd be happy with (I'd suggest $50), and cross your fingers.
