I really like the muli-colored roofs on your original castle. It gives a nice pop of color amid the gray. The design of the castle is also very nice so I’m looking forward to seeing “version 2”. 🙂

Can not see in the picture with the bin if the 4 minifigs are there (the Four Founders figs are probably worth more than the rest of the bricks). But even without the figs, $100 for the parts would be an ok deal.
