Normally, if it had been the seller who had built this bike from parts acquired over a period of time, he would be taking a huge hit by selling it complete. The only way to recover the investment would be to part it out again, provided he hadn't overpaid for any of the components out of desperation to complete the project. Conversely, parting out a significant original bike for profit would be a crime. Hopefully this seller at least recovers what he paid for it when he bought it, plus what he spent upgrading it.
