Based on current catalogue/retail valuations: retail dealers list the single stamp at about £0.60-£0.65 in MNH condition.
As this is a block of six with gutter margin, a premium applies – perhaps 3-5× the single stamp value (depending on collector demand for blocks/gutter margin). Let’s assume a value around £3-£5 as a ball-park (six × ~£0.65 = ~£3.90).
Given your excellent block, you could reasonably list higher to allow negotiation.
