Is this worth $20 or is it a realitively worthless piece of junk.

I am a young hobbyist with a very limited budget.

could this jig produce decent dovetails for small boxes/drawers or would it be more trouble than it is worth? and if it is worthwhile how much should i pay (nobody pays the asking price right?)

Yes it could. I'd check to make sure it is complete and go for it. It seems to be a basic half-blind dovetail jig.

Do you have a router w/ dovetail bit & guide bushing? If not, plan on buying one shortly after buying this.

Hello,
I looked at similar at the Sears Appliance and hardware store a few weeks ago, came home, went to Sears website and typed in dovetail as a search.
The reviews of them are pretty bad.

What the heck. If you can spare the $20 and use it to learn what can be a very complicated procedure, why not?
