Welcome to the forum.
It appears however as if you've overlooked the all-important announcement in the above blue header.

I was playing the piano in a zoo, when the elephant burst into tears. I said, "Don't you recognize the tune?" He replied, "No, I recognize the ivories!"

As Newage has stated, we cannot give values on this forum. Your piano will need to be fully inspected by not only a piano tuner/technician, but by someone who specialises in Player pianos. Please also note, spelling is important! .... firstly, you have spelt "Pianola Piano" wrong.... This name was originally a manufacture name, then it became a household generic term for any piano that played itself.
The best description would be: "Weber Pianola Grand Piano " (also state its length in feet & inches). Unless the whole piano has been restored, it is not worth much.... and many dont sell on Ebay. Also, all the chambers/ bellows inside need to be inspected for air leaks/ stack unit/ pneumatics & valves etc.... and you should state if it has an expression chamber aswell - as some players didnt have this extra feature. The photo also needs to show the whole piano aswell. Have a look on Ebay to get an idea of a starting price.
Also need the serial number to date it..... and if possible, a photo of the actual player unit itself - fascinating & "over-engineered" as they are.
Regrettably, many player units are removed from pianos because they didnt work properly, and finding a Player technician in the UK is like gold dust! .... so you also need to state in your advert if the unit is still installed, and if it is still in good working order..... which is separate to the normal mechanism (hammers etc) - if the player unit is missing, put it on ebay for about £50 or less and see what happens.
Problem is - Weber is a good name, and it might sell just on that merit, but, its like selling a car with 2 engines! .... one working, and the other one not.
Hope that helps
Colin
