What is fair value if I was to sell it?

Is it a 6601?  Does it have flash hider and bayo lug, both, neither?  Come with origninal box, mags. manual?  More info is needed to give a price reference, that likely won't include recent fluctuations in market pricing.
I bought a 6601 sporter match Hbar (has flash hider, no bayo lug), that was like new, with original box, manual but no mags for $1100 about 9 months ago.  I thought I paid a little more than I should, it was through a gun dealer but the gun was in excellent condition - my first range trip with 200 rounds put more wear on it than it had when I bought it.  Was a little dissappointed though, as it did have a few sloppy colt assembly monkey marks on it, but nothing out of line with what I've seen here.

If one was going to sell now sure would be a good time.

It is an older pre ban rifle, has flash hider, bayonet lug, standard size hammer and trigger springs, large hole upper. Original finish, very nice. No box or books.

I would say do someone in one of the ban states a favor and sell it to them.  It sound like you don't really need it and pre-bans are so hard to come by there that someone would pay you top dollar for it.

I'd price your rifle north of the $1100 I paid for a 6601 with no bayo lug.  I don't know how far north I'd go though, as the HBR profile isn't currently too popular.  Personally, I'd sit on the gun, hoping that the impending Obama legislation still permits transfers, but no new similar guns which would drive your AR into the 2k range, based on the last ban.
If you want to sell it now for considerable less, like $1200 or so, put it on the market and email me with pics.

For every gun I've ever sold, I've always regretted it later.  Hang on to it.

Looked it up on another sight,I think it is a 6600 made 1986 thru 1991. Looks to be all original although someone could have changed front sight base  to one with bayonet lug on it.

I have a Colt AR-15A2 Sporter H-Bar (R6600K) with the wick still in the barrel, that has a FH & no bayo lug that I paid $1,400 for in 2003.

It came with the green label box, owners manual & blank warranty card, two 20rd mags (at least 20rd mag bodies, they could have been blocked??), & a NIW Colt 22lr conversion kit. It is unfired & will stay that way, & will also stay in the back of my safe.

I would say keep your rifle, & enjoy the rest of the ones you have.

There is no such thing as an unpopular AR right now.

And a pre-ban should get a pretty darn good chunk.  People are paying $500 for lowers....

keep it unless the wonderful economy has put you in the situation where you need to sell it.

I would keep it for now. I still have my Colt A2 20" HBAR from when I bought it brand new in 1994. It's in the back of the safe never fired mint condition and there it will stay.
