Dennis,
A shame that you will have to cut up what sounds like a useable body due to shipping costs. I bet shipping the pieces will amount to about the same total cost at the end of the day, just that it's spread around a few different buyers.
For the deck lid you should be able to get an idea of $ from previous eBay listings, maybe that will also serve as a measure of how used parts compare to new ones on a % basis. I suspect your location and hence total price plus shipping costs may still work against you for some items, especially those one could obtain in the contigious 48.
