Ed Shapiro should be able to tell you about this camera. Rollies were very popular TLRs and in pretty broad distribution in the US. My gut feeling is that its sales value isn't very high. If its functional, load it and shoot with it. You'll love a lot of features about TLR, such as never loosing sight of your subject and the ability to shoot very high flash sync because of the shutter design. I don't own a Rollie but I do have a C-330 TLR which is now relegated to a spot on a bookshelf as a conversation peice.

Some of these Rolleiflexes are going for $1000 to $1500 on ebay. I think the ones that are getting the highest bids are the ones with a fast Zeiss lens and in very good condition. I recently watched an auction where a Rollei had some major problems and the camera still went for $719!

Rolleiflex 3.5 models

Looking at photos and specs from the link, I suspect you have one of the Rolleiflex T's
The T1 was made from 1958-1966, the T2 & T3 made from 1966-1976

You seem to have a great one in your hands; I'm looking to buy one in Japan this Christmas (I'm looking for a 2.8F)
If I were you I'd keep it for a few more years, keep it in good working condition, don't damage any part of it - who knows, you might pick up medium format. Even if you don't, in a few more years they'll be worth even more (I think)

Prices are pretty high online…
