The Crosman 130 was made from 1955 to 1970. It is no longer on the market. The condition and demand determine the price you will pay. Anything Goes.
However if you had one that was brand new and still in the box it would sell for around $85 today.
I suggest you contact Daisy Directly and ask for an owners manual. See the link below.
This pistol was made between 1986-1991. Without more information about the current condition of the pistol it is not possible to give you an estimate of value. You need to give it some sort of rating like POOR, FAIR, GOOD, VERY GOOD or EXCELLENT Condition before I can answer you.
It's very hard to change the power of the rifle without changing the components in the rifle. However it is possible to change the how the rifle reacts when firing the pellet.
Now don't confuse speed with power, they are two different things. You can change the speed of the pellet by simply adding a few drops of Crosman pellgun oil into your pellet tin and rolling the pellets around in the oil (Don't over oil) this will lubricate the pellets and the barrel. They will go faster but will still have about the same power.
Pellets come in different weights. A lightweight pellet will fly faster but will also drift off target easier due to cross wind. A heavy weighted pellet will fly slower, BUT will fly straighter and have more knock down power. Think of it this way. Your on a motorcycle and a fly hits you in the face, It hurts, but if a bumble bee hits you I the face it REALLY hurts.
Pellet shape makes a big difference. I suggest hollow point pellets for hunting, they mushroom on impact and make a cleaner kill.
Pellets are weighed by GRAIN. .177 come in 4.8 Grain up to 9.8 Grain. Believe me this makes a big difference in power.
See the link below.
Without more information about the condition of the pistol it is not possible to answer you. BUT I can tell you this. In poor condition it is worth $50 in "NEW IN BOX" condition it is worth $250.
"Model 805 Sportster Single Shot"
Yes but it may take multiple shots and the rabbit will suffer. A bb gun is a poor choice for killing rodents. A pellet gun using hollow point pellets is a much better choice.
These prices are for pistols in EXCELLENT Condition (Like New) no scratches or dings, rust or any damage.
BSF S20 $105
RWS LP8 $205
I suggest Gun Brokers on the web

It's not easy to answer this question because Quackenbush produced several air pistols with the 1871 date. All of them hold a high value with at least 4 figures in the price. They can be anywhere from $1,100 to $5.500 depending on the current condition of the pistol.
The Air Rifles started in 1876 and also hold a high value.
My suggestion is go to a large book store and locate a book called "Blue book of airguns 10th edition" and look up the Quackenbust H.M. section.

If any model Air Rifle can come close to that speed it would be a PCP (Pre Charged Pneumatic) Class air rifle. PCP's are the most powerful class of air rifles. They require a scuba tank or a special type of hand pump to charge them to 2000 to 3000 PSI. These rifles are made for power and accuracy and cost from $300 to $3000 depending on features and boar size. They are made from .177 up to 50 Cal in size.
The fastest PCP that I know of is the is the Air Force Condor. It rated at 1450 FPS firing a .177 caliber pellet. However this rifle has 12 interchangeable barrels that fit the rifle. The basic cost is around $675 and about $1,575 fully outfitted.
It will cost you around an additional $300 for the Charging system (Scuba Tank)
You are saying both "Pellet Gun" and "Air Rifle in the same question." If it was a rifle it would most likely fall to the "AIR FORCE CONDOR" at over 1400 FPS, using a .177 barrel. (It has 12 different barrels that fit the rifle)
Pellet guns are not as powerful as rifles. The EVANIX HUNTING MASTER fires a .22 cal pellet at 1000 FPS. The Fastest .177 air pistol that I know of is the Crosman 1720T Target pistol that is rated at 750 FPS. By the time I answer this there may be one faster
Don't confuse speed with accuracy. Olympic class air pistols like the "Feinwerkbau P44 Match pistol" only fires at 508 FPS but is dead accurate and only cost $1,696 dollars.
Between $55 and $65
When you ask for the value of this airgun, you need to give me more information than "How much is it worth?" Let me explain. If I asked you "How much is my 56 T-bird worth?" The first thing you might ask is, "What condition is it in?" It could be a real gem or just a bucket of rust. It's the same with any antique. The current condition determines the value.
You need to give a description of the airgun, give it some sort of rating like, it's in (Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent) shape. Or tell me that is looks well used or has very little wear. Something that gives me an idea of where to start. Without more information it is not possible to give you an estimate of value.
I have very little information on the pistol. However I see that it is a Target or Match pistol. This tells me that it most likely only fires around 500 FPS like most match pistols. These pistols are not known for speed but are known for accuracy. That's why they are considered Match/Target pistols. As an example the NEW FAS 609 only has a velocity of 500 FPS but is dead accurate.
The only importer in the USA is Airguns of Arizona in Gilbert AZ.

A head shot with hollow point pellets would be best.
Originally Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were 3 separate companies. Benjamin bought-out Sheridan. A few years later Crosman bought-out Benjamin. Today Crosman owns all 3 companies. In 1975 Crosman started serial numbering Benjamin / Sheridan air rifles. Before that (1975) it is not easy to identify the year the Benjamin or Sheridan's were made.
I know I'll regret answering this question because there is so much confusion regarding this rifle.
Let me explain. At one time Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were 3 different companies. In 1977 Benjamin air gun company bought-out Sheridan and continued the Sheridan line. In 1992 Crosman air gun company bought-out Benjamin and kept both Benjamin and Sheridan lines going. Up until this time the serial numbering system was very poor for Sheridan. There is even confusion around the C, C9, C9A & C9PB as to when they were produced. Most Sheridan models were just marked "Sheridan" From 1949 to 1990 In 1972 serial numbering began with. #000000. As you can see yours had too many numbers to date it.
I Think yours was made sometime after 1990.
See the link below for dates of manufacture and you will see what I mean. Scroll down the page when it opens to the Sheridan section.
There were several versions of the model 98.
Model 98 was made in 1974
Model 98 Daisy Eagle made between 1955 -1960 ( Your model)
Model 98 Golden Eagle W/Scope 1957
Model 98 Golden hunter 1958
All of these have different values. In order to give you an estimate of value I need to know the condition of the rifle. Please rate it as Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent condition. And if it's still working.
with that information I can give you an estimate of value.
