TLDR: you'll probably net more by parting out, but how do you value your time? Sale of individual components takes time, energy, and effort, and you should assign a value to that as well.
Long version:
Last year, I bought a new bike, and I kept only the frame, fork, headset, BB, and seatpost. In other words, I'd have been better served by paying more and getting the frameset.
I eventually sold my old bike frameset and the following items from my new bike: stem, handlebar, Di2 shifters, saddle, Di2 junction box, crankset and wheelset. The derailleurs were transferred over to another bike.
In my case, I had to part things out, as the frameset I was selling was used, while everything else were new takeoff, but it'll be the last time I do this. So much hassle and so much time spent communicating and shipping, and I lived only 1/4 mile from the post office. I certainly can't be bothered with parting things out again.
