I am no expert, but a farmie with the accessories you have, un fired is a bit desireable to some.  There are few buyers, but when you meet the right person, that sounds like a good purchase.

My LGS sells new r9s for 1250.00, so, yours is likely worth $1375.00 in my opinion, but only to the collector/ fanatic.

I personally say Do Not Sell It and for gods sake, fire that virgin, clean her, and never leave home w/o her.  ;)

Fire that virgin...................sweet memories............. ;)

If you don't want to fire it send it to me and I will put 50 rounds of Gold Dots through it.  8) ;D

Agreed. To my way of thinking, purchasing the R9 and never firing it would be like purchasing a Ferrari and never driving it. Also, since the gun was test fired at the factory before shipment, it is technically no "virgin".  (Besides, "virginity" is highly overrated.   ;)

.... like purchasing a Ferrari and never driving it.

More common than one would think-  I know a guy who used to be a tech at a Ferrari dealership. 
There were a handful of customers who would schedule their yearly maintenance, and this guy would go pick up the car, service it, and deliver it back to its home.  When recording the mileage, he noted that the car had zero miles since its last service.

Not for me!  My lowest-mileage vehicle, my wife's Jeep, is about to turn 100,000 miles.

...And my R9 spit out quite a few Gold Dots this morning- All flawlessly.

The R9 has a new owner.  Thank you to all that posted opinions on the value of the R9.  And, thank you to all that posted the humorous advice.

gb.  Congrats on the sale and to the buyer; an unfired Farmingdale, except factory, doesn't come along very often.  Do come back and visit.    :)
