Do you think if it has a Nucore in it, It adds value to the game? I think it should, as they are no longer available.Though on this?

Yes.

I have a follow up question to this one. What are the main things to look for when checking out a RFM? This game is on my short list and I may be on a serious search for one within the next 6 months.

Good functioning power supply/power supply fan.
Clean motherboard without visible damage.
A center ramp flap that isn't damaged or cracked.
Then typical stuff you'd look for on any other pin, I guess.
I was just wondering if there is anything out of the norm, since I've never seen the inside of a PK2K pin.

I think it adds a little but not a lot. A fully working nice original game should cost almost as much (mainly because the old boards are worth a ton)

The power supply, motherboard and center ramp are out of the norm.
A noisy/non functioning power supply could have put undue stress on the motherboard. The motherboard can show signs of this stress around the caps. The ramp flap is often damaged or broken, as I understand it.
Check those things specifically, and then check all the other things as a normal pin. 
Just as important as a good functioning power supply fan would be a quiet, good functioning, CPU fan.
You can hear the P.S. fan & even see it if you pull the back door off, but the CPU fan can be DOA and you won't know it until the game dies !
