Does a pellet have to be in the chamber for a Crosman 140 to fire?

The rifle will fire without a pellet, but over time it will ruin the air chamber and air piston inside the chamber. When you pull the trigger the air piston slides forward inside the air chamber compressing the air behind the pellet. At the last moment it actually slows down as the pressure builds and fires the pellet. Without a pellet in the loading port the piston has no resistance and just slams against the stop. This will eventually ruin the rifle.

What is the value of a JC Higgins 22 cal pellet rifle model 126 - 19301 in good condition?
This is a two part answer for you. First the Rifle was made by Crosman air guns. Any JC Higgins air gun starting with 126 was made by Crosman any model starting with 799 was made by Daisy air gun. My Catalog list the 126-1930 as a Crosman 140/1400 the 1400 was a later model of the 140. This makes me think that the 1930(1) represents the 1400 model (Check Youtube and look for a Crosman 1400 and see if this is your model). If So then the rifle is worth around. $75 plus or minus. The 1400 rifle was made between 1968-78. Its a pump rifle that shoots a .22 cal pellet at 580 feet per second.
