Sorry CraigyP but it's difficult to respond without appearing to be erm..... awkward.
It doesn't matter what the ECU is mapped for, it has to be programmed to get the best out of the machinery it controls.
So, if it isn't put into a 2005 machine that is capable of 430bhp and runs on V-power then it won't produce results.
The worrying thing is that if it IS put into a machine that isn't capable of 430 and/or isn't fuelled by V-power then it will blow the engine apart.
What ECU is it - EcuTek by any chance?
Then - is it a UK or JDM car that's the donor?
An EcuTek and it's useful for anyone who has blown a chip.
Anything else (Syvecs, Alcatek) and it's potentially a useful upgrade.
But the buyer will still have to map it to their car.
In short, that chip isn't an instant upgrade, which would be its ultimate appeal and get the best price.

One selling point is that it already has an EcuTek licence, so saves a buyer the one-off Licence Fee (worth a bit in itself I suppose).
However, it's the actual chip that needs to be valued, so you need to identify it.
To be honest I spent 10 mins looking around the Net and I'm not much wiser.
If Simon mapped it he's probably a good person to ask for details of the chip, since I assume it will be on his customer records.
