It's value is in it's rarity.
Remember above all, if its a RARE game there was usually a reason why.

It didn't make money.
It cost the factory to much to produce.
There were better machines at that time from other manufacturers on offer.
I would put BMX into two of those catagorys. The first and the third but you can add others such as it being a ultra wide body and also at that time Ballys constantly required flipper work to keep them earning money.
At that time operators were well aware of ultra wide body Ballys, ( many got burnt with ultra wides from Bally like Future Spa and Space Invaders) and it was common to skip such machines unless an increase of revenue justified the extra weight to move it around and the extra space such machines took up in the all important arcade real estate.

Rarity doesn't always mean it's worth more, I have an Up Scope that's only 1 of 14 left working worldwide. No ones beating my door down to get at it.
