What are my carbon items worth?

I'm trying to judge what my DP carbon fiber items are worth. If not much they are going with my 996 I've been trying to sell and it's going on eBay. I want a Miata.

DP CF front fender - no fade at all since it's had hardly any use; barely noticeable half-inch crack however

DP CF rear fender/chain guard (the bigger one) less than 100 road miles so awesome shape

DP CF mirrors - (rentangular sorta ones that make the stock ones look big) - less than 100 miles road use so awesome condition

Just looking for a general idea of how much these items are worth to see if it's worth my while. Do not make me any offers! Just give me a ballpark figure guys as I haven't been paying much attention to what sells on eBay and in the forums. I don't think this stuff is worth that much as the market is flooded with CF for Superbikes. But maybe I'm wrong. let me know please as I want to get rid of my 996 for a Miata. Thanks.

DP Fender (w/ crack): $120

DP chain guard: $150

DP CF mirrors: $110

If that's all I can get it's not worth my while. Say I get $380 based on what you mention. I would guess those carbon items, plus the stock items would get maybe half ($190) that much more of a selling price on my 996 over just stock form. Is that chain guard guess for the hugger/chain guard combo? I have the combo one not just the chain guard.

I guess I'm trying to figure out if a couple hundred dollars worth messing with Paypal, shipping, etc?

if you're selling the bike, strip it down and sell the aftermarket parts. you'll recoup some of your losses rather than including everything on the bike. besides, most people are looking for a stock trim bike so they can spend more money to modify it themselves. post pics and a asking price and go from there....

Wow I'm surprised people value a stock bike more.
