Some were TIG'd and some were lugged.

If the bike is a Series 50 or lower, $50 might not be too far out of line ...
I'm going to disagree with the above. Paramount MTB's were and still are, all really good bikes and any Tange Prestige tubed mountain bike with the LX group on it is worth more than $225 in good shape.
