ZX80 value?

I have a ZX80 which I'm thinking of selling. I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post in, but what would be a reasonable price to ask / expectation of price?
It is boxed and has both 80 & 81 ROMs (plus the keyboard overlay) and a 16K RAM pack (which is not working).
Condition is reasonable for the age, I think - see pic.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers, Martin

If you go via the eBay selling route, upwards of £100 if you are lucky.
I can’t see a photo... (the OP has since attached various photos...)

Thanks for your reply, and picking up on the lack of photo. I didn't complete the attachment process properly.
cheers, Martin

Thanks for your help. I listed it on eBay. Now has just under three days to go, and at £134:

Not much luck needed... ZX80's are going for 'crazy' prices these days.
Especially if in good nick. Which this one seems to be (compared to some other ZX80's I've seen on offer). I wouldn't be surprised if it fetches £150 or more.
Precisely the reason why I still don't own a ZX80 myself, even though I'd LOVE to have one. If they were a few tenners like a ZX81, I'd have gotten one loooong ago. But it's just too much money just for the heck of it. Read: there's more useful / fun things to spend it on.

They are silly money. A very nice boxed one can do £300 plus at auction which is as close to a ‘true’ value as you can get. They can go for even more with the white PSU.

It sold for £205 in the end.
