Red face Pricing a bike for parts

Hello all I have a curvy SVS that I am thinking of breaking

My question is how to work out the price for each part. Looking to make enough money back to purchase another bike. I would probably break the bike like so:

Front fairings complete
Mirrors
Tank (slight paint scuffs)
Clocks
Euro headlight (flat beam just passed MOT)
Left clip on with switchgear
Right clip on with switchgear
Front forks with yokes and spindle
Throttle bodies and air box
Engine (no knocks and just serviced with invoice to prove)
LSL sliders
Wheels with tyres, discs and sprocket carrier
Front calipers with brake resivoir
Rear caliper with support and bracket and resivoir
Rear plastics complete
Both seats as a set
Rear subframe
Swingarm with spindle
Tail tidy
Loom complete
Bos titanium exhaust with down pipes
Rear light
4 indicators

Would you people in the know help me price these

More details in the breaking add if I like the look of the numbers

Many thanks

Tick the check box that says 'Complete items only' when you search. It'll give you a better idea of what stuff has sold for. There'll still be a load that are listed as completed, when in actual fact the listing expired without any bids, but a quick scan down the lists will indicate which have had successful bids on.

Bump any ideas folks?

Just don't want to break it and have parts sat because of prices lol ebay ranges from 30%-60% price differences for the same part

At the end of the day things are worth what people are willing to pay for them, some people could advertise parts for say £50 when the majority of people won't want to pay more than £20.
To actually guarantee the sales you'll probably have to advertise parts for less than you've seen them sell/be advertised for. Or advertise them for around the same price and say "ONO"
Good luck with the sales
