Default Sell it or keep it...?

I'm going to take my 205 block out of the car (2wd saff) tomorrow beacause of a tiny (read: 70mm long !) crack in a cilinder....
Now the question is...should I keep the parts, like the crank, pistons (91,8mm) and rods or sell them ?
In other words....are they worth anything or shouldn't I bother trying to sell them ?
Engine had only done something like 7 or 8000 miles after a complete rebuild.

The block itself will become a nice vase to put 4 sets of flowers in.

Nope, already got a "new" block which is coming my way tomorrow.
So it'll just be for spares if that one brakes down too...

pistons are fooked, have gone in the thrash can.
Crank is already sold over here in The Netherlands.
The rods will be used as sort of wallpaper in my garage.
Along with a couple of dead headgaskets, cambelts, etc...
