If you had put the car up forsale 3 months ago before Tamiya announced the re-release of the Avante then you would have most likely gotten a few hundred dollar for it maybe more. I watched a pretty beat up parts cart sell for $350 about a year ago.
With the re-release coming out they're worth $150 if you can find someone that really wants the original. Look at it this way. Now you can keep it and have a steady supply of replacement parts for another 10 yrs or so.
