Given it's collective nature, that's a really tought call. I think that I would have passed on buying this model, for fear of ever running in the dirt. It's truly a work of art. Even the box is came in is really nice. I don't know if it would ever be worth more then what you paid for it, but I don't think I would have the heart to put in the sandbox. That is such a nice, one of a kind model. There are no scratches on it now, so I would have to say keep it that way. Hopefully you aren't hurting for money, so you can buy another, just to run and enjoy! By the way, I remember seeing this model, or one just like it, on E Bay a couple years back. Testament to how hard it is to sell one of these things.
