One of my all time favorite quotes from this illustrious forum pertains to VX modifications: "Beauty is in the eye of the keyholder".

It's apropo here as well:

Value is in the mind of the keyholder.

As with any sale, the price can ONLY reflect what the market will bear. A bone stock VX in pristine condition today COULD sell for $25K if you found the right buyer (someone who didn't want to shop around for a more reasonable deal or someone who just got a $50K settlement from somewhere & always wanted a VX & happened across yours). On the other hand, we've seen VXs parted out because it had a blown engine & couldn't be sold as a whole ... at any price.
