Based upon the picture, it looks like a standard #4 plane. Nothing
special. I'd probably pay $5 or $10 for it.
My personal theory is that a plane that looks nice will probably need as
much work as a plane that looks old, so I won't pay any extra because the
paint is in good condition.

$5, maybe, if I desperately needed it for something.
The red painted frog, the tinny adjuster knob, and the Craftsman
label suggest it's a fairly recent vintage, lower quality plane.
If so, older and better quality planes can be had for decent
prices with a little searching. (OTOH, some Sears planes were
made by Millers Falls and are considered good quality...can't
really tell by just one picture).

why bother starting another of your endless and pointless threads? Just pay
what you want and be happy.

i think it makes a decent starter plane as a gift for someone just learning
about woodwork

i bought one in the looks fine category recently and one in the
could-not-tell-because-of-bad-photos category
they both turned out to be fine but the bad one has a thick layer of
rust
funny thing is i think the rust did a favor to the face of the plane
once i got the rust off it was nice and smooth
