Your best way to market it on ebay might be to photograph it with the C slide only and sell it as

"KING C TRUMPET w/Bb conversion slide"

Show the "X" slide on the side as an accessory.

Have a good trumpet player play it before you auction it, to make sure the slides are really short enough to play in tune in "C", and check out the piston tolerances to make sure they aren't "shot".

A playable C trumpet for under $500 is a more marketable item than "just another old small-bore King Bb - except it converts to C".
