2009 deore crankset, cassette and chain have a new replacement value of ~$150 today, and would risk being worn after 4 years.
Note that in the same timeframe I've fitted a new deore crankset, worn a deore middle ring out, replaced it with an SLX one (best part of the SLX group is that middle ring), and fitted, worn out and replaced a cassette and 3 chains.
Rest of the bike is life expired ie no real value. (second hand rim braked rims are not valuable items).
Would be a freebie to a relative if I owned it, after giving it a thorough lookover for fatigue at the welds, and I'd tell them to bring it back to me in a couple of thousand kms for a replacement chain or if it started shifting badly.
