You can find a lot about these bikes on-line...
About the value? No idea, there are other people here to help you.
One sold on ebay, 4 years ago, for 699+125 shipping, no pics

Hello and welcome to the forums. Not a bad looking bike. I am not familiar with the brand but I think a few things are amiss.
The components seem to be mostly Campagnolo Grand Sport one of their lower end groups. The rear derailleur is a 980 gear another lowend part. I can't tell about the brake levers but again the calipers look like Gran Sport.
The wheels very likely do not belong on this bike. Regardless of the level of Campagnolo I find it rather unusual that it would be equipped with bolt on steel wheels.

Like bianchigirl said, the frame is nicer than the parts and the frame has rust issues as do many of the parts. The fork and wheels look particularly bad. Hard to put a price given the issues the bike has. As it sits, I'd value the bike at around $150ish and that may be generous. You can quite possibly flog the non-rusted parts on fleabay for more. In any case, the saddle is toast, the rims are probably shot and look terrible, and the fork looks positively post-apocalyptic.

incazzare.
I'd value it higher than the above. I think the frame alone is almost worth what bikemig is quoting, $150. The wheels however are junk and don't go with the bike. They take away from the value because the new owner will have to find decent wheels. The bike needs a total overhaul and cleanup as well. I'd value the bike at $250 or so.

That is a bike from a great and classic Dutch brand. There is a thread with more information on this forum --->https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vi...ih-source.html.
The original shop closed a few years ago as you could see in the previously quoted thread but the brand was revived last year and a new shop has opened in Amsterdam. So they still make Rih frames altough Wim vd Kaay sadly has passed away.
Yours is finished in the brands distinctive red and white colour. Pretty nice bike but the rust issues will keep the price down. I think the price lostarchitect has quoted for the bike is about right.

If you drop a mail to RIH Amsterdam they will be able to tell you when and for whom the bike is build. Great frame, terrible state.. I would value it less that €200,- It is a very small seize for a relatively unknown brand. Is it a 49 or 51?

I would go with lostarchitect...about $250...this is a relatively rare brand...so it has, IMHO, a bit more value...but...as others have said, quite in bad shape...but...it does appear to be original (at least the frame and fork). I would take it down to frame and fork...and work from there...
Interestingly, if it were in my size, I would be interested in adding it to my collection! But, alas, it is too small for me. Although, someone said that small size makes it less valuable...I have NOT found that to be true...bigger sizes are generally more difficult to sell...
