Can someone please help me identify this board? I bought it a few years ago and I’m unfortunately having to sell a lot of my woodworking things, but I’m needing to know what this is for its value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Walnut?
No, I don't believe it's Walnut. I bought the one board for about $40 from woodcraft a few years ago. It's 7/8" x 5" x 22". It's curly, but I can't remember the species.
Teak?
You never know that your seeing the true color on these screens or if any two people are seeing the same color but grain pattern and color looks alot like acacia. If that board your holding is super dense and hard then maybe not.
Not one I recognise from personal use. I had a look at images of butternut or pecan thinking of less common North American woods and it could be either. Sorry not to be much help.
In the first pic it looks like Koa. Not so much in the second.
No idea what it is. Not to rain on your parade, but you probably paid $20 or so for it at Woodcraft a few years ago. If Woodcraft sold it now, they would probably charge the same today. But you don't have a store with woodworkers coming in every day. How are you going to sell it now? Full disclosure, I have a wood rack with a couple hundred dollars worth of small pieces from Woodcraft. No idea what I'll use them for and I've stopped buying this stuff.
Judging by the color, variegation and luminescence it might be either acacia or chechem. Both are reasonably available. If somewhat hard but similar to what a comparably sized cherry board would weigh it might be acacia. If it's pretty hard and feels rather dense it could be chechem.
