It sure would. So many folks don't ship. I don't know why, except it is a pain in the ass. Here's my two cents worth:
Find some free boxes in the trash bin at any big box store, stop by Staples, etc. for some plastic wrap and clear tape, a bunch of old news papers, and a Fed Ex shipping drop off is less than 9 miles away. (Lexington) You can ship that frame cross-country for around $70. Add another $40 or so for the engine.

When you offer shipping you expand the field of prospective buyers significantly.
It's worth the minor effort to ship. I bought my last Ruttman that way and if the seller hadn't offered shipping it would have been "no sale" (at least to me). I'm pretty-sure he got more from me than he could have from someone local.

Really
I notice as some people get older our health issues limit us and don't allow us to ship. Yes, if it's the right bike you can get much more if you are willing to ship. However, I have never shipped a motor for 40.00 or any complete mini for 110.00 dollars.
I guess I'm lucky in the sense I can still find them cheap enough in my area that when I resell still make a little money. I recently found a nice one but where do you put them all? without a barn or huge garage they sit outside and rust.
If I had the room I would keep everyone I find and not sell a single one. You regret selling down the road. In some point in your life.
