the costs likely outweigth what it's worth (about 150 quid)?

Just ebay it with a proper description.

Rationale: people think they will save money by buying something which
is cosmetically damaged. This means that a thing that needs work to
bring it up to scratch will sell for more than a theoretically perfect
example minus the cost of the work.

yes, that could work, and it could also fail too.
