[St] Parts question, "market research"

I discovered a few months ago that the bottom half of my factory top box
was riddled with cracks. Since it bore much of the weight of the
left-side slide that preceded it becoming mine, so much that it twisted
the rear subframe counterclockwise a bit, and I have overloaded it more
than once, I'm not too surprised.
I attempted Capt Serlick's solution of "welding" the plastic back
together. Most of it is still welded, but some of the cracks are back.
Likely because I need some more practice ABS welding.
Initially I looked into replacing the bucket itself and learned it was
about $450. For laughs, I asked the price on the entire assembly, locks
and all, and it's just about $95 more than the lower alone. My next
thought was: if I were to buy the entire assembly, could I sell the
parts I don't need?
Would there be anyone looking for ST/Tiger factory top box latches, a
handle, a shiny new top half in the color of your choice, etc? I could
make you a good deal! :0)
TIA,
Jeremy Witt
