Whats it worth

One sold recently on eBay for £40 with a few accessories (including the motor wind but no lenses) so that's probably a fair reflection of the body's value.
The real money (just as it is in Pentaxland) will be with the lenses; I seem to recall the 85/1.4 Rokkor being worth quite a bit on its own. Fast 50's will always find themselves good homes as will wides and ultra-wides (I had a Tokina 17mm in Minolta fit that fetched nearly £400 a couple of years ago).
The cheaper "consumer" zooms (Minolta or 3rd party) are less likely to fetch very much on their own, so if you have any of these it'd probably be less hassle to bundle them in with the body when selling.
