Default 17th Century German Bible

I have a German Bible from the 17th Century and wanted to find out the value. Could someone please advise me as how to do so? It is hardbound with a couple pictures and in fairly good shape!

Thanks!

Generally, printed bibles even of this age are not worth much,
because they are not rare. You should collect all the bibliographic
detail (date, place of publication, etc.) then start googling for
similarities.

Publisher and year of publication are the two most important
criteria. Try AddALL.com for information.
