It's probably worth a bunch if it's original WWII. Thus, what ever you list it for, it will probably be bid up. You could also place a reserve on your auction. Note: there are alot of these items that are post-war or just plain fake (reproductions). If there's a way to authenticate its age and history, you'll do better in the auction.
Do some research on ebay before you list. Run a search for "Kriegsmarine" in ebay and save your search for easy reference. I search the new listings under "Kriegsmarine" four or five times per day. There are always hats, caps, badges, etc. listed. Watch for a while and you'll get a good idea what they'll bring.
Note: ebay does not allow the Nazi emblem to be shown on these types of items. They will pull the listing. If there's an emblem, cover it up on the photo. Also note the disclaimers some people use in these listings. Also, some of these items are NOT allowed to be shipped into certain countries.
I hope this helps.
