I think you meant 14.5 x 35. I've got two of them with fine target cross hairs. Premier installs a boosting lens by the power ring. I would imagine price would depend on which model 6.5-20 you have and I wouldn't expect to get much more than current market value for that particular unmodified scope. If you find yourself with more buyers than scopes please send them my way.
 
There were two models the usual Vari x 3 and the EFR all the rage in early to mid 90's.
Presume this is the 40mm front bell as Vari x 3 with 50mm fronts and side focus came out in 98 boosted by Premier Ret. There were a few AO 50 front bell Vari x 3 converted as well.
I had the very last Dick Thomas conversion a VX3 20-50 GEN2 June 2005.

The 20-50 command big money whether Vari x 3 or the few VX3 done, approx £900+ to £1100.
 
Value $450 maybe more.

The problem is that neither Premier or Leupold will service it:-(=

If it had target knobs and not the reticle as described it would be much easier to sell and worth more money. It was most likely set up for a custom bullet and load etc, etc.
 
Leupold will service it, the problem being they will put it back to standard halving or tripling its value on some models.
I have heard a few specifically ask for PR modded scopes not to be altered and also confirmed before taking out repairs.
 
It is worth a lot less than it was when Leupold still warrentied them. Their weakness is the leaf spring that pushes against the erector tube. I owned 3 of the 18-40x models and that was their main weakness. Great scopes otherwise.
 
Leupold will still fix in warranty but put back to standard spec lowering its value.

As Jonnyh said Leupold will fix the scope, yes and the most important thing to remember is they will reinstate the Lifetime Warranty. Always confirm this in writing before sending the scope.
Don't know if this is what is important to you are not?
