I recently stumbled across a brand new in box SJM 430 (500 class) heli that I bought for nearly nothing. It is a complete kit that of course needs a tx, rx, batt, servos, and gyro, but includes motor and esc.

I dont know anything about it, but it looks really cool. Some web searches have revealed that is probably a V1 from 2007, and that the SJM company has gone out of business. User reviews all look pretty positive, so do youtube vids.

My options are:

Build it and fly it, although im not quite ready for a 500 3d bird yet.
Build it and keep it as a garage ornament (if its worthless) since I paid nearly nothing for it.
Or sell it if it has any decent value.

I can provide pics if needed. Im not trying to sell it here, I'm just wondering if it has any value.
