they are generally stored value transponders. the account keeps $ on it, as you pass through a tollbooth, the toll is deducted from the available balance. when it gets to a low threshold, the account's credit card is charged a refill amount.

on the EZ pass, the low balance is $10 with an auto-replenishment of $35.

some transponders also have a "deposit" that is kept with the card and refunded once it's returned.

however, since it was the previous owner's i would say to you there is no value, but the previous owner would probably like to have it back. if you can, contact him. if not, contact the operator and tell them you have it. they'd probably like to have it back.
