I have an old custom built Wilson TS I don't need any more. The constructed printer itself is pretty bad (bed ended up with a concave shape so it's really limited in what it can do). However it's made of some parts that were quite good at the time I constructed it. What should I do for getting rid of it now that I don't need it?

Nice 2020 Aluminum extrusions
M8 smooth rods from wajax
Some decent NEMA17 motors
A RepRapElectro RAMBo
A Meanwell power supply
E3D v6 hotend

A lot of the ender 3's suffer from warped beds and slapping a glass plate on it seems to clear that aspect up fwtw.

Though if you don't need it I suppose sell or give it away :) A workable printer has gotten pretty cheap at this point.

Yeah, I just gave up on messing with it because I don't feel like tinkering anymore. I have a Prusa i3 MK3S now. So I would like to sell off the parts if possible.

Whatever it's worth I suppose.

When I put the printer together years ago I spent over $800 on all the parts and tools needed to build the printer. So I would hope that the parts haven't completely devalued to <$100 and they're useful to someone. Especially since a I'd think a E3D-v6 hotend and a good Meanwell power supply alone should be worth at least $100 and still be just as useful.
