Cracked seat stay on a Cervelo P? Sell or junk?

Just looking to get some input. I have a 10 year old Cervelo P5 frame that was cracked (seat stay) during transport to a race in 2016.

I intended to fix but ended up with a new bike and kept the frame.

My question is, should I try to sell the frame "as is" or just get rid of it?

I don't want to pay to fix myself at this point.

Thanks for your input.

I would say it would probably be worth something to someone. I haven't done carbon repair, but I have been intrigued, and I would assume a seat stay may be one of the more simple ones. Do you have any more information or pictures? What would you be asking for it?

I agree. However, having done some carbon repair myself, making it structurally sound isn't that difficult. Making it structurally sound and good looking is extremely difficult! :-)

Thank you for your input guys.

I have parted out the bike so not that inclined to build back up after a $400 or so repair.

Will probably list for sale, but did not want to seem like a jerk trying to sell damaged goods.

(Damaged via Bike Flights sending the bike from CT to CA for a race btw - clearly not a fan).

That's an easy fix and have done similar repairs to that.
I'd be interested in buying it! What are you looking to get for the frame?

Sorry, BLD, I am not on the site everyday.

Closet comp I could find was for a frame on Ebay but its clearly not worth what they are asking. ($1999).

Maybe $1500?

no worries. I had just asked 3 times and you seemingly ignored it. Cool bike, good luck with the sale!
