1991 Gary Fisher Advance - WiW?!

A friend of mine recently gave me his vintage 1991 Gary Fisher Advance bike. He kept everything immaculate - including the original receipt, 1991 GF Catalogue, owner's manual and pamphlets. Interested in selling it and wondering what it's worth (if anything)? I know bikes are in demand right now!

26" tires, 16" frame
Only downside is he had a friend in college do a kind of tasteful and very 1990s paint job on it; slight gold accent around the frame.
Attached all pictures. EDIT: apparently I can't attach pictures until 10 posts... let me know if there's a work around.

Also found this info online that matches this bike closely:

Part of Fisher’s ‘Freemclimbing series’ (there was also the ‘Racing series’), the Advance was the entry-level offering in the 1991 range. It had a 100% chrome-moly frame and fork (this was 1991 remember) and also featured Fisher’s Evolution components (oversized frame tubing, fork, stem, headset, bottom bracket, and seat post).

It’s in complete original condition – 400LX drivetrain, Fisher SwitchBax tyres, FisherLite saddle, FisherLite hex grips, the lot. It even came with the original Fisher branded toe clips, reflectors, and owners manual.

So, not much restoring to do here (maybe just a few components). All it really needs is a good clean up.

I know very little about bike specifics, so let me know what more information is needed, if any! Thanks ya'll.

Not much going for this,other than the Fisher name. It's a bottom of the line model, in a smaller than average frame size and with an altered finish. Replacing Evolution components can be a real pain due to their non-orthodox design. Despite the very good condition and documentation, I don't think it's worth over $200.
