My fantastic bargain, it's my lucky day!

Nice! I never get deals like this. Closest was scoring a free Slugfest pitch-and-bat (very good shape, fully working) for a friend. Or a Mars Trek pin in excellent shape for $400. But your deal sounds better! (Even crazy, given the exchange rate!!)
 
Well i made some pics from the BMX:

It was some serious wear, but nothing that cannot be fixed.

That was an awesome day for you. Congrats.
But with all due respect even though the production number was low it's still not (by the masses) considered a highly sought after title. Funny how that works - because it's so rare not many have played it driving the value down. :confused:
Unless this machine absolutely trips your trigger the amount you'd be charged by a pf restorer (that's serious wear) plus your shipping charges and $50 initial investment plus whatever else you may need to do to it.....well .... it just doesn't make sense to restore it honestly.

If it were me (and granted it's not) I would simply enjoy it for what it is and if/when I got tired of it I'd flip it. You're sure to make a little extra scratch out of it as it sits. In fact you could contact Todd Tuckey and ask him what he feels the value is. I'll place my uneducated guess and say ~$600 as it sits. If you do call him please report your findings. I'd really be curiosu to see what Todd has to say. (considering he's retail) ;)
 
I traded a BMX for a nice Williams Suspense and a Gottlieb Target Alpha. Felt it was an even trade. Yes, low production, but yuck - did not need or want it in my collection. The guy who got it wanted it, so off it went.
