I just sold my wife's, which was the same as yours, same purple, similar miles, not as many extras, wife's was bone stock lift, no rust, $6000, sold in 2.5 days.
 
It is worth what someone will pay. Yours look pretty clean. I don't know what the market is in Pittsburgh, so I can't give you a number, but what I usually do is look at ads like craigslist or whatever local sales ads you have, and see what others are going for in your area to get a good baseline.

Post photos of the frame, then we can really give you a good idea of what it's worth.

I have to agree with above..... it depends where you planning on selling it, locally or nationally ?...or even internationally !!!
Obviously if you frame is clean and rust free that's a huge bonus if most of the Jeeps in your area have had too much play time in the salt.
 
ill get pictures when i can , the entire frame has been sanded and coated with por-15 , i havent checked how well its held up. i know the body mounts might be rusting a tad but nothing major
