I actually have a NIB kit too - IIRC I paid the equivilent of around £240 from the States, although I think I may have paid a little over the odds for that particular kit, as I soon realised that it was a 'sport' model without the Hydradrive, bearings or UJ dogbone driveshafts - as I am planning on re-creating my original XX from this kit, it has cost me a fair bit of time & ££s to update the kit with those parts (It seems the UK only got the 'full fat' competition kit)
Like anything - your kit is only worth what people would be willing to pay for it, for me that would be around the £200 mark - but you might find it would fetch more given the audience & bidding frenzy associated with a certain auction website!

Dan, the UK had both the "full fat" and sport versions, box lids were the same except the full fat version had the black/dark background behind the car/flames and the sport version (with no Hydra, slider driveshafts, bushed wheels, std diff balls, non hard coated shocks etc) had a light blue background behind the car/flames on the box art
That kit in the picture is the full fat one........
The sport models were offered as two versions (with or without a mechanical esc and basic motor), part numbers were A0040 and A0041 IIRC.
