idea of value?

Whatever someone is prepared to pay.

of money to expect or ask for, so any clues would be appreciated.

Have you tried looking on eBay (Advanced search - completed listings) to
see what others have sold for? You'll probably find a wide variety of
prices, but there should be enough to give you an idea. (Unless
no-one's sold that model over the last 30 days, of course!)

Which seems to be the case here - just one frame currently for sale. I
didn't know Barracuda made anything other than BSOs.

It's worth less because it isn't summer. If you're not pushed for space it
might be worth waiting until the weather starts getting warmer.

I'd recommend whacking it on ebay and seeing what you get.

I have a Barracuda Nemesis mountain bike I bought brand new about 4 years

Its hardly been used (certainly not real mountain biking anyway) and is
therefore in pretty good condition.

A good make mountain bike in as new condition is lucky to make half it's
RRP on eBay; Barracuda was never a good make. You might get £200.

I've certainly not been all that impressed with mine - £200 two years
ago, and it doesn't feel great. Better than the old Raleigh Pioneer
was, but probably not better than it would have been new. It's fine
for hacking around on, but on a long run, the difference in quality is
really noticeable.
