There's one for sale right now on the major auction site. What the value of your particular camera is, depends upon its condition, rarity and what the market thinks it's worth at the time you want to sell it.

Welcome to the Leica forum !!!

FOCA was a sort of "French way to Leica" ... and so there is also a Foca Forum ( Forum OPL-FOCA :: Index) , while this, notoriously, is the Leica Forum... ;

Maybe also the "generalist" rangefinderforum.com has a Foca section..

Ebay results would be a good guide.
