not nearly enough information on the component group; and especially on the bike's condition to hazard a guess.
So given that this is the internets and we can all have an opinion based on nothing, I'm gonna' say $400.

Your pics and again your information is not enough to come to any comclusion.
Is there anything that says what the frame is made of?
What brand and model brakes?
WHat brand and model deraileurs?
Wheels brand model size
Bar and stem.
It is possible it is a rather lowend Tommasini built for the European market most of us here in the states are used to seeing the real fancy NeoPro and up models festooned with Campi or highend shimano.
Huge steel spoke protector, "claw" type derailleur mounting, paints guard on chainwheels, and stem shifters all point to a lowerend model.
Is it worth fixing up? Sure if the bike is mechanically sound it is certainly worth cleaning and tuning it to ride.
Look at some of the other apprasail threads and post closeups of the frame and parts like they have and hopefully someone will be able to better tell is it is or isn't the real thing

531 frame? Highly doubt it. Why is there an adapter claw RD and a bunch of super low-end components hanging off it?
As-is it's a project bike. Less than $50 from what I can see. All cleaned up and ready to ride, maybe in the low $100 range.
