Default Centuri LJII 1/45: Build, Sell, or Hold?

I've had a Centuri Little Joe II (KS-8), not shrink wrapped, for about 20 years. I kept it as more or less an investment. I've had a few severe financial crunches over the past three years and I've resisted selling it.

In the back of my desires, I really want to build and fly it.

In light of the Estes 1/45 LJII coming out later this year, assuming the collectors value of the KS-8 has been diminished somewhat, and my kit being out of shrink wrap, and I may have another financial crunch coming up, what should I do?

Build?

Sell? (and what price should I expect? In great condition, but open.)

or Hold? (so I can show people, like at tonight's SoAR meeting, what the old kit was like)

(that's also a hint that those near our meeting in Alpharetta, GA tonight should come out and see this, along with a bunch of cool upscales from another member, and have free pizza/salad)
