Cadet Martinis sell as parts or reassemble?

I've a few BSA Cadet Martinis bought years ago that I dismantled.
The plan was to make a few varminters. I made one in a bad caliber and dismantled it.
It looks like I probably wont make any more.
Does it make more sense to sell the receivers and parts or to reassemble
them into rifles and sell them as 310 Cadet martinis?

    And I'll buy one to make a K-Hornet; one of the best urban-rural calibers.

    I've also been watching for a good complete cadet action for a K-hornet project. At my local gun shows the price of a good action has been most of the price of a complete rifle. If you list any of the actions please let us know....

    What caliber are they? If they weren't rechambered and still in .310 Cadet, they would be worth some bucks to a military rifle collector.

    I still see them worth more money as assembled complete carbines, even if rechambered, then as basket case parts guns.

    Split the difference - sell 'em complete but end user assembled.

    (why did you decide to not try a second one?)
