Hi, I'm looking for advice please...
I'm currently living outside SA, moving back to SA next month (and very happy too).

I hope this is a legit post...
A few months ago I asked here about the advisability of bringing my two XR 650R's into SA to sell - wasn't sure what the market is like in SA. Fortunately I managed to get an OK price for them over here, so they're sold.

Before I sold them I stripped off some good parts to sell separately. Now I'm trying to decide whether to bring these parts into SA (shipping container is getting desperately full and this would mean sacrificing some other stuff).
My question is whether there is a market for this stuff in SA or whether it's junk.

**THIS IS NOT A SALE AD**

If I do being the stuff into SA I'll put it up for sale publicly, fair and square.
All I want to do now is avoid shipping back a load of junk thats not worth it.
I'm not looking for pennies, I'll be looking for between 60 - 90% of US price, depending on whether the stuff is used or not, and the condition.

So... I'd really appreciate if someone could give me a guide to the SA market, whether this stuff is worth bringing in and sellable for a fair price.
Maybe if you quote my post and under each item just say 'junk' or 'sellable' or whatever.
I'd really appreciate some guidance here  - really dont want to ship back a heavy crate of useless stuff.
I've been out of SA for a long time and I'm really unsure of the market and what's sellable. I hope this isn't violating forum rules  - I'm *not* advertising these items for sale.

Much appreciated. Pics are attached below.

1.
