You have a ton of really nice parts on these bikes. From watching and participating in rehoming bikes (buying and selling), you might want to consider splitting it up and offering the components and extras separate from the frames. Lots of people have their own collections of spare parts they want to use and many people may want some of the very nice things on the bike — but not the whole bike complete. Rather than adding items to make the sale price as a complete, I suspect you’d get more overall if you sold everything separately. My two cents, for what it is worth.
