I have seen these, with canister and booklet go in mint condition for 1000 to 2000 depending on the day of the week.
Found mine in a junk store in Winnipeg for $60.00 but the first digit would not increase past 8 internally.
When you selected 9 as the first digit, internally the machine would select eight. Mentioned this and the fact that these cost 400 to fix at a minumum and the seller dropped the price.
Turns out there is a screw at the base of the machine that is a shade to long when tightened. A short filing (minute amount) of the working end of the machined screw and all was working perfectly!
Cheers, Geoff

Do a search on eBay for "curta" to see what they are sold for.
