Alex, you have a ton of things to consider if you are really interested in buying one.
If it's original, they are QUITE valuable. If it's a repro, who made it - an individual or a recognized cannon tube fabricator? What material is the tube made of and the weight ? Is it vented for fuse firing or is it equipped with a "slap hammer"? What condition is the bore in? Weight and length of the tube and actual bore size. Is the carriage wood or metal.
If equipped with wheels, what are they made of and their size? Actual age of the tube and carriage? Has the current owner been firing it and if so, what were the projectiles made of and their shape/weight? If it has been fired, what charges has it been subject to and what type black powder has it been firing (FG,FFG,FFFG,FFFG)? There are more things to consider but these are some that I could quickly think of.
As far as a market for such a gun, there IS a market for such things around here but it will take patience depending on your asking price. Many many guys have great interest in these but damn few have the resources to buy one unless it is really priced rather low. You have my phone number and are welcome to give me a call and we can talk about your potential buy.
Sorry for the length of this post!!

Is this for the rodent problem in the KS house, Alex?

I've PM'd. I have a repro 2.25" Bronze Mountain Rifle and have live fired it. Unless the barrel is machined out of solid steel it will have a liner and that is the chief issue. Done badly and you have a pipe bomb.
There's a very active forum for cannon at Graybeard Outdoors:http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/index.php/board,88.0.html
