I just bought one, in the case, for $6 at a year sale.
-----------------------------
They can be worth $6 for a dirty, non working, rough shape version.
But, about $75-$100 or so if everything works. Less if you need some work done to it. And towards the higher end if you have it's original case. And if it types script/cursive letters, then upwards of $200+.
usually a well kept red valentine typewriter is worth around 150-200 euro here in europe but i know in USA they have been sold for as much as 500 usd.
NOt a collector or anything, but I sold one last year and could only get 100.00 CDN. I tried selling to thers but with no sucess.
If it is a Valentine with the case rubbers intact and made in Barcelona with the little instructions sheets it may be worth as much as $350 US. They are quite keenly sought by collectors now although at the time of manufacture 1969 they were a very slow seller due to the radical design and colour. Olivetti made a second manufacturing run made in Mexico in the 1990's and these also failed to ignite the buyers. A machine truly before it's time... Ray Murray (ex Olivetti Manager) Adelaide SA
I've seen them on Craigslist for $25 with a case. I think these don't have a high price because they're not as functional as full-featured self-correcting electrics (e.g., IBM Wheelwriter 2) and not as decoratively attractive as earlier manual models (e.g., Olivetti Valentine).
Just picked one up today at Grammercy Typewriter in downtown Manhattan- $225. I highly recommend this place.
Depends a great deal on condition and working order, but if its in good shape and works 200-400 is current market.
It's worth as much as your mamma down on the street corner.

My Smith Corona typewriter is worth about 2,500 its antique
condition plays an important role when pricing a typewriter. I've purchased one a couple of days ago for $10.00
nothing, its a type writer, and its not all that old
I suggest you get it appraised by an expert. See if you can get in touch with a typewriter restorer or collector. I doubt the average antique store dealer will know anything on the matter.
