Keep in mind that more then likely won't be able to get back exactly what you put into it. Even though majority of the parts are practical brand new if you were to part it out you'll have to discount the parts to sway someone to buy from you vs buying directly from the vendor.

Then if you demod...there is no telling how many days-weeks-months that its going to take to sell everything and then having to ship everything...$1700 might look like a good idea then.

Bottom line if you have the time and aren't hurting for money a demod might be the way to go but if your wanting to just bank and avoid a bunch of hass sell it to that guy.
