Default Any $ value in a stock compensator?

Not trying to sell it here but just upgraded to the SE comp on my '10 SG and was wondering if there could be any market or value in the stock one. Ended up costing me $450 installed so I thought if I could recoup any of that with the stock one I would give it a shot.

Background, took bike in last week for noise when I engage/ disengage the clutch. Tech said everything looked good inside the primary but they thought it could be comp noise and said something about the increased torque pushing it's limits. It wasn't going to be covered under warranty because the stock one was fine but that they would recomend the SE to cure the problem. I had heard all the gooods things being said about the SE version so I went ahead. Long story short is it didnt do anything for the noise but hopefully it was still worth it for other reasons. Haven't had a chance to get many miles on it yet so we will see.

BTW, the noise is "normal" now !

Try selling it as a unique paper weight to a gear head.
