BrickLink listings at or slightly below the 6-month average tend to sell within a week or two. eBay is a good secondary option if you want a wider audience, but expect slightly lower prices after fees.
At $51.07 average, yes. Buyers at this price point expect a complete figure with all accessories, no major scratches on printed elements, and tight joints. For a figure from 1978, also check for yellowing on white or light gray parts. UV exposure over time causes discoloration that significantly impacts value. If you have the figure new/sealed, keep it protected. The premium for mint condition is significant.
