I noticed that cockpit last time as well. I think they did pretty good to get a $3,900 bid for it, and I hadn't even noticed the panel damage you pointed out. People are a bit too proud of gutted airplane shells, methinks....there is a stripped CRJ fuselage someone wants $99k for, been up for ages.....granted it has the seats and yokes, but that's about it.
A hunk of aluminum just isn't worth much, even if it does happen to resemble an airplane, Even the salvage yard here locally only wanted $1,500 for an ENTIRE stripped Learjet fuselage....or I can go to Kansas and get just the nose section, including pretty much everything but instruments and radios, for $10k. AND it hasn't been sitting in the elements for who knows how long.
