you can pick up clean strikers in good running order for around £50 or so

Yeah im afraid that the Sonic Fighter/Striker arent worth a fortune.

The figure that they quoted on the Gadget Show for the Rough Rider would of been true before they Re Released it as the Buggy Champ.
Prices have fallen as a result and you can now get a mint Rough Rider/Sand Scorcher for under £500.

Take a look on Ebay at completed listings for valuations.

Even a new in box Striker wouldnt be worth much more than £200. Kits are always worth more unbuilt but i prefer to see them assembled.

If you want to sell it and it is actually mint - not just mint for its age, then you will probably get close to £100 for it.

Some of the old buggies are worth more Avante, Egress etc.

The last new built unused Egress i saw went for just short of £1k. The Avante a little more.
