Unless a FH is really spectacular, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think it's possible for you to get a "grade" on your fish.
My personal opinion is that I think you can sell your flowerhorn for between €50-€100, but in the beginning when you announce him for sell put price €120- €150 and then make a deal. By the way the flowerhorn cichlids aren’t as popular in Europe as the rest of the world and that’s why the price will be different.
Ok. Fellow FH keeper here. It is not possible to be 100% on FH sex based on body shape or KOK size. It is common knowledge that males have a more pronounced kok that is more detached from the structure of the head, but i do not feel this is present in yours as the kok seems to just be an extention of its head structure rather than an inflated Kok on top of the head. This is still no verdict on sex and the ONLY way to know is for sure is to have a look as mentioned by others here. FH's actually enjoy the touch of the human hand but they need to learn this over time. I can place my hand in with my FH and he will actively swim to sit in my palm. He loves a good kok tickle LOL. Don't we all 
. But seriously if you are gentle and let it be in control you will easy be able to photograph the bits you need totally stress free for the fish. We will be more than happy to advise further

FH's can be so different from fish to fish I've always felt the loose grading system to not make much sense. If you love your FH. He's a grade A. if potential buyers are getting held up on the grading system..... They have missed the point in the FH to start with
