Des Lauriers guitars were only made for a brief period of time (under 10 years). They were first manufactured in Japan at the Matsumoku factory and then production moved to Korea and then finally Taiwan.
They had several different type of guitars including steel string acoustics, classical guitars and even electric guitars. The value of your guitar would probably be best determined by the year of make, model, country of manufacture, and most important... condition.
It doesn't look like they sell for much money. The market seems to value the guitars around $50-$150 from what I have seen. However, if you have something that may be more collectable, you may get more for it. Any used instrument is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. You can get some free (lowball) appraisals from guitar stores, or try posting it up on Ebay to see what the high bids wind up as (put a high reserve on it if you don't want to sell it).
