The EM1 had several "issues" like rear wheel failure and strap sockets falling out. I suppose like the Nikon D60 with its oil on the sensor problem, it is a camera best avoided used.

A few years ago you could not give away film SLR cameras. There seems to be a bit of a rebirth of interest in film, thus film cameras have regained some value.

I see my EM5i goes for €150 SH, It still shoots nice pictures.

Most post-1985 film cameras are worth little.  Economy models from the late 80s and 90's are basically worthless.  Interestingly, it's the same way in the audio world.  Wood-sided stereos from the 1970's (like cameras) have some value whereas the black metal stuff from later on is worth very little.
