To someone who's considering having someone build their motor. Probably $6g for parts, labor & Dyno time.

If you are buying disassembled and in parts in a box without gasket and rebuild kits, I would say that $2000 is a generous offer. If you are paying for someone to assemble it, I would expect to add $750 or more for labor and parts and warranty.

107" motor completely assembled and running. With all the stuff above. D&D fatcat is $1,000 alone.

So a completely assembled 107" CNC stage II, ventilator intake,58mm t/body, Tman 590cam, S&S lifters & pushrods with D&D fatcat.

15,000miles on case & 800miles on build is worth????????

Depends on who is buying it and what they want out of it. For me I wouldn't touch it. Too many questions:
1) who bored the cylinders? I would definitely want the bores measured and if you find out of spec you now have cost of new cylinders.
2) Lower end? Stock? how much abuse?

I would buy some of the pieces, heads and TB. Maybe the cams and maybe the exhaust if the price was right (say 50% of list)
But again that is just me if I was looking for a 107 build.

Not trying to pi$$ you off but..

I would not want any part of someone's disappointing build. I assume disappointing because you just got it built, but not broken in yet?
