Probably not worth too much! But shoot a roll and see how the pictures are? Small cameras are fun... Looks a bit like the Konica C35 (another great small RF!)

I used to have one of these. I loved it. The lens is excellent and the meter pretty decent.

Very small, too. Not worth much, though.

If it performs well, you like it, and it takes great pictures, then it's worth its weight in gold!

I have one of these got it off the bay for a similar amount, there seems to be a few cameras that are very similar. I have a Cosine that is a superb little camera, look here for some examples, http://photo66.blogspot.com/ there fun and for the low price you can leave them in all sorts of handy places, glove box, locker, satchel and not worry

Hey, are you satisfied with you chinon 35ee? I currently won one as a bonus to a larger film patch and I'm waiting for it with big curiosity....

If you want to double value of this camera - replace light seals

Otherwise whole bunch of small'ish around-40mm/2.8-lensed FL RF's will serve well, offering value at no cost. Maybe shutter speed range could be more extended toward slower speeds...it is designed to not blur images, so it's clever decision.
