I have recently been given a stuffed Bald Eagle. It reaches 3m in length with its wings spread. Unfortunately I don't have anywhere to keep this and would like to sell it. Does anyone know where I can sell it and how much I should be asking for?

Sarah!
Unless your Eagle was what is called a Pre-Act bird,you can not legally possess or sell the specimen. I'm sure the Federal Authorities,namely the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will be wanting to talk to you. Your best bet is to contact your local wildlife authorities and let them tell you what you need to do. You could donate to a museum or school that has a scientific permit to possess the bird. It could be put to good use in an educational setting.
Judging by the fact that you measure in meters and that I have never heard the word "costings" before, I would assume you are not from the United States. If this is the case it would be a good idea to check the legality of buying or selling eagles in your country, although I beleive it is legal in most. As far as price, that all depends on the quality of the mount and/or it's age.
Think of any place where you can sell this.
