How much is this keyboard usually worth?

On this specific one, some of the plastic clips that hold the case together are broken off, so it might not stay together very nicely. I would not pay any more than $20-$30 for that.

It may be worth 40 - but only in pristine condition. I'd advised against this buy.

It might be worth getting if you like the French ISO layout, that must be unusual. You might find a non-working specimen with a good case later for cheap, or something that you could upgrade the one and sell the other.
