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 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.
“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933
