Best if you are going to sell started kits?

Unfortunately, I have a few boats where I glued the frame but didn't get any further than that.
If I'm going to sell them, will it be easier to find buyers for them if I finish planking the hulls or try to remove the frames and possibly make some new ones?
Two of them are Billing boats Denmark and Arnanes.
 
Sorry, but I don't have the opportunity to take photos of them now.
But the only thing that is built is the frames glued with white glue to the keel.
 
I am assuming that you plan to sell on eBay.

I recommend that you dismantle the frames using alcohol to soften the glue. This will make packing easier.

However, when advertising the kits you must mention that they are started, and you should expect to get very low prices for them.
 
People are reluctant buying started kits as
- it is main enjoyment of working on the kit from very beginning
- people are anticipating some errors done by original builder which will be hard to fix
As mentioned above I would suggest to unglue and restore the parts to their original state.
It is required to mention what you had done with the kit when selling it.
