8 speed XT (shifters, brake levers and RD) can go for big money on ebay on a good day, same with the XTR brakes, as the are no longer available, I sold a set for these for virtually retail earlier this year, (although I'm UK based, I have sold bike parts to the US for good money). Will give you that the LX FD won't be worth much selling.
No reason why that bike can't be broken and the parts sold to break even, and maybe a small profit at the end of the bikes life.
Yep, my bad on the STX. I still stand by the rest of my post. Granted, I'm going by some not very good pics - but the pics make it look as if everything is pretty clapped out. Sure, he'd get good money if everything was in tip top shape, but it doesn't appear to be.
For the OP: Ride it, have fun with it, but don't be surprised if you don't get much cash out of it.
