What are mini Whelen Patriots worth (and/or frame/lenses)?

I have 2 frames for a mini Patriot/Liberty but only enough parts to make one complete red mini Patriot. One is a half width center section and the other is the full width of a 500 head so I can build either one (have the lenses for both but no endcaps/guts for one).

Just trying to see what they are worth. Just want to make sure it's worth my time cleaning everything up and assembling vs just selling the parts. They could be made into Liberties too but I do not have the corner LEDs.

I would love to find a factory mini frame, i made one from a fullsize but my cutting sucks (managed to make the cuts perfect)
These are ones I cut. I have made a bunch of minibars over the years, these are one of the easier ones. I have not completely finished deburring it yet but this is a quick mockup.

I made a mini thats factory, and also made my own halogen version after john had done a throwback of the halogen mini edge.

My halogen mini liberty is still a work in progress though.

I was considering making an all halogen (6 head) and keeping it too. Slim classic alternating flasher.

I have several options at this point but mainly looking for a ballpark value of a built, clean mini patriot in red. I have no idea if they are worth $50 or $150. Just trying to balance time vs profit (cleanup and assembly vs parts sell-off).

I wish i could help. I have some liberty lenses im debating what to use on, but im sure i’ll figure it out.

If would guess maybe 125-150 ballpark, but no clue
