Default Scratched the roof

I have the see thru tinted roof. I put it on my car but forgot to lock the front 2 levers. I was driving and going about 35 miles an hour and all of a suddden the roof flies off and does about 10 backflips and lands top down and slides about 10 feet. Luckily my car was not damaged and there were no other cars on the road. It's all scratched up on the outside and the frame has two cracks in it but nothing fell off and I have the piece on my car for now. Obviously I am waiting for a replacement. Does anybody think it'll be worth anything on ebay?

I *think* I have seen one is close condition to yours, but, the frame was in good shape. It may not be worth your time / trouble but you never know what someone else is wanting in the ebay world.

Glad no one was hurt.
