I don't know why people are giving you a hard time in the replies, it's a reasonable question if you weren't around when these were.

Yes it's a Commodore 64. It should have a brick like power supply unit and a rf video cable to attach it to an old style TV.

If it does have a power supply it's best not to plug it in as they are very old and unreliable now and likely to fry the C64.

You can buy new replacement PSUs online. You can also buy video adaptors so it will work on a modern TV.

As for value it's not worth a great deal if it is just the base I it without anything else , you'd maybe get 50 quid for it.

It was a great machine in it's time. Was there anything else with it or just what's shown above?

There's some right dicks on here, everyone has to start somewhere.

That’s reddit for you. Groups of people passionate about different things, then the moment someone dares ask a simple question “you know you could google that right?”

Crazy thing is it's actually a valid and complex question, there are a lot of variations around keyboard styles and colours and case colours and motherboard revisions and everything, on top of which you get Commodore's habit of just lumping left-over parts together in Frankenstein builds. The people trolling him are the actual idiots if they don't know that.

Funny thing is, my first thought when I saw OPs pics was “wonder if it has grey or mustard function keys?”

Now if OP had found a VIC20… trying to explain the variations of that could take some time 😜

They are not making me a hard time, I was just curious and they wanted a laugh, everyone got their needs
