This is probably an unanswerable question but how should I price parting out a frame and fork for someone who doesn't want a the whole bicycle I have for sale?
I'm thinking the 2008 Spec Tarmac frame and fork is about half of total.
Any other suggestions?

Spend some time in the 'closed/sold items' section of ebay. Look for the frameset, either the group or parts, wheels, bars/stem/seatpost and start adding. Then compare that to the prices paid for complete bikes similar to yours.

Parting out generally yields a premium over the sale of a complete bike, unless you're talking something unique (a retired team bike comes to mind), but you have the hassle of more wrench time, boxes, tracking numbers and perhaps trips to the post office.
