Unless there is something special about it, like the first year for the Varsity $600 sounds high!
What year did you buy her?
Now, if it was a Paramount, there might be some real value...

Take the $600. and run. Take only cash. run.
Sounds like a reliving of a childhood memory at work.
Then buy one you will not be afraid to lock up while shopping.
With $600 potentially at risk, it will probably get treated differently now. That's why I have one "beater" Masi in cognito, it flies below the radar.

Take the $600, and I'll sell you another for only $300. You'll make a nice profit that way, and still have a Varsity.....

If we work on this, a whole bunch of us can make money. I don't have one yet, but I'm sure I can find one.
