A little bit, but not much. Possibly a little more, or a little less.................
Truthfully, its not worth a whole lot, appreciate it for what it is, a good ratchet.

thetool,
I'm not familier with the 71105 model. And, your photo's are not working.
So let's get the basics:
What drive size are we talking about?
Is it a teardrop or roundhead design?
If it's a roundhead, is it the RHFT model?
Is it a standard handle, long handle, or flex handle?
As a point in reference, I purchase used ratchets frequently in good, very good, or excellent condition. If I'm buying a third-tier brand like Easco (i.e. not Snap-on, MAC, Cornwell, Matco, Wright, S-K, or Proto) I typically pay between $2 and $10 depending mostly on condition, but also on drive size and handle type.
As an example, a few weeks ago I picked up an Easco 73110 1/2" drive, standard handle, RHFT ratchet, in very good condition. I paid $7 for it and the seller and I were both happy with the transaction.
I can't tell you what your ratchet would sell for on ebay. I can tell you that in the real used tool world, it would likely be in the $5- $10 range, $15 tops.
If your ratchet is as good as you say it is, and you only paid $1 for it, why not just keep it and use it for the rest of your life? You got a bargain, enjoy it.

1/4 drive, RHFT. std length no QR button. Didn't see the pics Lauver?
At the end of the day probably ~$10 and less
Try the math again. That is actually 78¢ less than you paid.
thatnks, thats 21 more than i paid for it

RHFT non-QR versions - found in a few different brands - aren't near as common as the QR. 1/4" in any brand QR or not generally aren't near as plentiful either, so that's one of the harder-to-find ones.
All that said, it's only worth what you can convince someone to pay you for it, $5-15 depending on shipping IMHO, but I'm a cheap @zz.

thetool,
Now that I know it's a 1/4 drive RHFT, I will revise my estimate of its value in the used tool market; $5-$7, $10 tops.
It's possible it would bring more on ebay... crazy things happen there sometimes (i.e. irrational exuberance).
But again, if you got a mint RHFT ratchet for $1, why not keep it, use it, and enjoy it for a lifetime. Why flip it? Any profit made will be gone before the weekend and you'll be left holding your other tool in your hand like a bathroom idiot.
