Is it worth shipping all these parts from my race shop back to FL?

So my 79 lives in MN and I live in FL.

My new shop recently went through the car and yanked a bunch of stuff. It's a pretty sizable pallet (both in dimensions and weight) and am guessing it will be pricey to get this stuff back to FL. At which point I guess I could sell it...

Is any of this stuff actually worth anything? Or should I just have them make a trip to the dumpster with it all? I know the wheels and gears might be worth a little something, but I'm guessing it will cost a fortune to get it here. I wish I could get the shop to ship the stuff to buyers for me, but they're not interested. Too busy.

Thoughts?

-Front Bumper (Ruf style)

-Rear Bumper (stock as far as I can tell)

-Rockers (stock)

-Rear Reflector

-Decklid (stock whale style)

-Front Oil cooler (newer aftermarket center one)

-Rocker trim rubbers

-Front bumper shocks

-Rear spring plates

-Sway bar brackets

-Front turn signal reflectors

-Old through body fuel lines

-Braided oil cooler lines

-Spring plate bushings

-Rear dampers

-Tie rods

-Door Handles

-Torsion bar hole covers

-Coil over rings

-Front control arm sleeves

-Used trans parts

-misc. Hardware

-2nd and 5th gearsets

-two sets of buckley racing wheels

few hundred dollars for shipping a pallet vs few thousand dollars for the parts. Easy decision for me.

I just got a quote, it'll be around $500 for the shipping and whatever the cost is for the pallet and the crate.

Then you have to factor in the time and energy of processing all the parts sales and running to the UPS store.

I wish there was an easier way of doing this...
