Sadly, while these Japanese clones are really great machines, there is not a lot of value in them. The US was flooded with them after WWII so there are literally still millions of them. The pretty colored ones tend to get a little better price than plain black ones, but still, not much. It's only worth whatever someone is willing to pay you for it. I have several and have paid anywhere from $5.00 to $20 for all but one of mine. One I paid a lot for but it's an original hand crank machine in a pretty green.
