I just recently sold two used trumpets to a music store. The store owner informed me that I could obtain more if I sold them directly to other trumpet players. But I didn’t want to go through all that trouble.
Whenever you sell an instrument to an "end user", it is that person who wants to use the instrument, so you can ask for more money.
However, if you sell it to a pawn shop or music store, they won’t use it. They would just sell it to someone else. So that is why they will offer you less money that if you tried selling it yourself.
As for how much money you could sell it for, that depends on its physical condition and the popularity of the manufacturer. I searched ebay and discovered Lyon acoustics selling between $50 and $100. But one old Lyon acoustic (from 1920) sold for $361.

Very, very little. Pawn shops typically pay less than other used-goods stores. I would advise asking at music shops to see if they buy used goods, posting notices (with management permission) at schools, posting on Craigslist, and similar actions.
