Default Selling stock HU

I see them for sale in the classifieds often for a good chunk of change. I kinda don't understand the demand for then. If I were to try to sell my stock handlebars or something I wouldn't get anything for them but the radio I could. Is there a demand for them that I don't know about? I've been looking at getting an aftermarket HU but I'm trying to justify spending more money on the bike but I would recoup most of the money selling the stock radio..

There is a decent demand for them. Some bikes didn't come with a stereo and I believe they've the wiring harness already which makes it a simple plug & play. I sold my stock head unit and speakers on craigslist for $300, it covered my head unit and wiring plus some.

People with older versions of them can upgrade as well I believe. Plus if you want CB or Intercom there is no other option.
