If you part them out, you can probably do good. I've seen evidence of a
bunch of them parted out on eBay. The red arched windows always sell
well, and there are other parts which sell well (the trans-orange
octagonal wall parts will probably do well).
Our area is pretty well cleaned out of these since I picked a bunch up
at the $50 price.
