To an interested buyer these can go anywhere between £2300-£5000, But Why would you sell such a beauty? __ Anywhere from nothing to hundreds of dollars. It's difficult to price a bayonet without knowing more about it. Condition, country, maker, whether it was used in WW1 etc all play a role in what the price would be. If you want an idea what your bayonet is worth, check out Ebay's militaria/ww1 section and compare yours to what is listed. This gives you a good idea about what the market will pay for your bayonet.

I think around $55.00.
Russian soldiers
Depends which type. The Chinese Type 56 used a similar permanently fixed bayonet, but the SKS bayonet couldn't be mounted on an AK variant which uses a detachable bayonet.
Is it marked with Chinese characters or in the Cyrilic alphabet? <><><> As above. In addition, MOST Russian SKS rifles had blade style bayonets. MOST Chinese rifle had a spike type bayonet. But marlings are the defintive answer.
The spike bayonet is a little more efficient at penetrating, but neither one impacts the quality of the rifle itself. The only SKS variants you'll find the spike bayonet on are the Chinese Type 56 carbine and the rather uncommon Albanian variant.

If your asking about a Yugoslavian SKS 7.62 x 39, then these are some things to help identify one. All Yugo's have a grenade launcher on the end of the barrel just after the sight. They also have a blade-type bayonet unlike the Chinese which have a spike-type bayonet. Don't go by just the bayonet though because the Russian SKS has a blade-type bayonet also. Also, in between the sight and the gas tube on the top of the gun, they have a flip-up sight for the grenade-launcher. Hope this helps.
Very similar, minor differences,
they are about $100

This is purely opinion on my part, but the SKS was created in Russia, and made there for a number of years before the Chinese began manufacture. The Russian SKS tends to have better quality machining than the Chinese. Both are good, but the Russian is the original, and the better built rifle. Examine one of each side-by-side, and see what you think.
Markings.
The RUSSIAN SKS may be date marked on top of the receiver cover (properly called the rear housing) , along with the symbol of the arsenal that made it.
