Yes, 25 dollars is a major bargin for any Paramount. As it was mentioned, there are big differences in between the many versions of the Paramount.

Condition is a big part of the value and is very important in the +1000 range. I am guessing you probably saw an earlier Paramount go for those prices. Still, it's a fine bike and worth a good chunk more than what you paid. How much? I have no idea myself.
