Value for resale? or value as a sewing machine. For resale, check completed listings on ebay.
As a sewing machine, they are terrific. They sew as well as a featherweight, and there are all kind of attachments for it that are reasonably priced. I do all my piecing on one, and it is so easy and uncomplicated to use, clean and oil. Hang on to it and use it. You won't regret it. (Unless you need to carry a machine around and need something lightweight, I think Featherweight's are highly overrated...and overpriced.)
As for them being common, so are featherweights, the most common sewing machine on ebay--and the highest priced, due to popularity and ....hype.
