I have some R accessories hanging around, left by my cousins who took my R4
some years back...I never replaced it but now I've seen prices under $200
Back when Tamarkin was doing articles in Shutterbug put this question out
there but I never remember if he answered it; opinions please, thanks in
advance!
I have motor drive, Tamron adapters, a lens and other stuff looking lonely
without a body...and I'm not  interested in selling, too many good memories
attached!

I can't tell you if it's worth it.  This is an emotional decision so I'm
poorly-equipped to tell you what's best for you.  You might find that the
last few years have not been kind to your eyes and you might need a
viewfinder diopter correction lens even if you didn't before.  The later R
bodies have built-in viewfinder diopter adjustment, and the bodies through
R7 will accept your motor drive.
