  You said the bodies were chopped and I
assume the mirrors and glass bits are scratched
up. But the gears and other bits are still
worth something to someone.

  I think a brutally honest ebay title and
description would draw a lot of sympathy
bids. I'd even mention your auction on
the Pentax mailing list.

  Along the same lines, a couple of months
ago I was looking for the body side mount
from a K-mount (Pentax) camera. I was willing
to pay $10 US, which isn't that much but
still proves that parts are worth something
to the right person.
