You don't say what model it is and that would have a lot to do with it's value.
Also, whether it has a Complain or a Minox Lens (some of the C Models switched over to Minox Lenses which are rightly or wrongly less highly regarded).

the back sais C... I don't know how to tell the lens... If you like I can take some photos of it and send them to you..The ASA goes to 400 and it photographs down to 8" speed 1000.

Ok, it's a C Model. If you look at the lens opening with the camera closed you will see the lens model engraved on the covering of the lens.
It will say: Complan, 1:3.5, f=15mm
or
Minox, 1:3.5, f=15mm

It would be important to know the following also.
1. Is the battery compartment clean and corrosion free (if a battery has been left in it for years there could be serious damage. This is quite common with C's)?
2. Does the shutter trip at all settings?
3. If you have a good battery for it, does the battery indicator light come on when you toggle the little lever next to the shutter speed dial?
4. What is the cosmetic condition? Any dents or scratches, etc.

I took it out of the case and it merely shows minox 1:35 f=15mm
Then it has the later version Minox Lens and not the original Complan Lens. C Models can have either.
