NIB Saito-90TS Flat Twin Value ?
Came across this motor and got a good price (at least I think I did).
It is absolutely mint, don't think it has ever been out of the box, looks awesome, afraid to play with it.
Any idea what its worth?

Don't be afraid to run it. They are good engines and if you can tune a 4 stroke single you can tune a twin. Put it on a stand to get a feel how to tune it. It's also fun just to sit there and listen to it run on the stand.

G'day
Buy it. Now.
They are great little engines and sound wonderful.
Mine is in a Goldberg Cub painted up as a WWII "Grasshopper". It flies the model really well. It is about as powerful as a 60 to 70 four stroke, it does not drop cylinders and is just right for the Cub. The 60T is a similar but smaller version of the same engine but the 90 weighs about the same.

Good luck. Generally engines go for far less than they list for even NIB. I don't buy engines from tower or horizon for that reason. I can always find the engine NIB way cheaper in the marketplace. I think multi cylinder and other less common engines tend to drop more than the more common ones. If you look at the history in the marketplace that engine has gone from between $300-$525. If your not in a hurry to sell maybe you will find a buyer at $600 but it may be hard.
