The thing is. What something goes for on eBay and how much something is worth are two very different things. Yes some bargains have been had on eBay when a seller hasn't got a clue what something is worth. Hence a bargain. But a lot of stuff goes, but gets relisted a few days after. As the seller refuses to let it go at that price. To be honest there are a lot of dynos around. And the design hasn't really changed a lot. So you can quite easily make a 90's dyno have the look of a more earlier 80's dyno. Most people on eBay would fall for it. However if your a complete Steven costa gt/dyno anal anorak your never going to fall for such listings. If you can get it for £50 then that is good. Any half decent bmx manufacturers bike is worth that for the parts alone. Yes you may be lucky and get it cheaper on eBay. But if the condition is good you don't have anything to lose. The thing you need to decide is how much your going to need to spend to restore it. And if it is going to be worth the money you spend. If your just doing it up as a cheap rider to keep. Then you have nothing to lose. But if your thinking of doing it up with cheap repro bits and bunging it on eBay for £600 I think you may struggle. We have all seen lots of old school crap builds being palmed off on eBay as rare exotic BMX. But in truth they are 90% pos.
Tbh I just fancied doing my old bike up for nostalgic value, especially as it was my first bike! My mate hasn't replied to my offer of £50, so I reckon he's probably thinking it's worth more now that I've shown interest in it!
