Not everyone (like me) has the skills to build up a bike, so a complete bike might be perfectly acceptable and perhaps preferred by some. Mine is similar (plus more goodies ….), and cost me somewhere between 4500 and 4900 complete at Analog Cycles five years ago. These bikes are is short supply. People want these bikes. If I were to sell mine, it would be more than what the others are suggesting, especially if yours is in great shape.
I bought two pre-loved Rivs and sold one Riv, and for all transactions I was able to meet the seller/buyer, have me or them test ride the bike and make sure buyer loves it. As a newbie to Riv at that time, this was a huge value and no buyers needed to pay freight costs. All transactions happened at the original asking price. Also, I second what Steve said. I like my Platy on road surfaces but I came to love it more on small gravel and slight off road. Good luck with your move and if you sell the bike, there will be one lucky new rider.
