Wired Fat 50 Pickguard feeler?

I think your problem here is the price point. Even with upgraded electronics, $700 is very steep for a guitar that is selling used in factory configuration for sometimes less than $600. I'd say you're not gonna get much more than that even though your instrument is "upgrade" I put upgrade in quotes because even though it's an improvement to you, a lot of people aren't going to see it that way. Aftermarket pickups seldom boost the price of a guitar.

If you have the original pickguard, put that back in and sell it for around $600. If you don’t, I still think $600 is the best you can sell it for, maybe $450 to sell it without electronics. $240 is a good price for the CS pickguard assembly.

Don't take my word as law though, get multiple opinions and keep up with the prices of similarly tweaked Players Strats from the same era.
 
Thanks, yes I am aware not everyone sees new pickups as an upgrade. I was hoping there might be someone looking for an already modded Fat 50 Strat. So far I have not found that person.

As you suggested, plan B is to revert the guitar to stock, reduce the price accordingly and sell the pickguard separately. The time to do that will likely be in the next few weeks.

Fortunately, I have no financial need or other urgency to sell, but only would like to move on gear that gets little use.
