I think the problem with people trying to sell pre-built bikes out of expensive parts, and expecting to make their money back, is that all those parts together will never be everyone's taste. One person may fall in love with it and think £1000 is a bargain, 99.9999% of people will think it looks like shit.*
In short, easy to sell parts, near impossible to sell complete. Don't build bikes for other people without consulting them.
*It is hideous.
