Well, at least it's easy to identify. The Pepperoni fork, Beast of the East frame and black Deore LX group (with atypical thumb shifters) indicates that it is a 1993 model. If it needs a new chain it probably needs a new cassette too. The middle chainring is also looking quite worn. Unfortunately, vintage ATBs do not hold value well. In an average market, I'd value this at ~$150. Picture assist....

My eyes are telling me that the bike has perhaps almost no usage/mileage.
But the market for 26"-wheel mtb's is extremely soft in my area of California, making it hard to get more than $100 for even a very nice one.
The price can be higher for dual-suspension bikes, but only if the front and rear suspension are still working reasonably well, and which is rare on a 20-year-old bike).
