Unlike other makes of 16 strand rope the Marlow rope has a braided core rather than a loose core and an extremely tight cover, it's a difficult rope to hand splice, I've only done one it's not nice.

Arrrr you got any other suggestions? Lol

Used Marlow rope is worth approx 5x less than any other brand of used rope.

Use your non spliced end on a bowline, that way you still get the less friction via cambium saver.

You could get it loler'd and punt it on arbtrader or a similar site,as joe said though,its not a great rope so wouldnt make you a great deal of money.Why not keep it as a second back up rope or as part of your rescue kit(if you have one)even use it for 2 in 1 lanyard for connie bashin,make lanyards out of it,pull rope,light riggin rope etc
