Today I traded three ships for a Python: Asp, Cobra, and Type-7. All were fully kitted out with the highest classes of modules, Shields, Docking Computer, and the largest cargo racks.
I'll only go over the numbers for the Cobra, but the same applies to the other two ships.
The shipyard offered me 5,105,039 Cr for the Cobra.
Instead I sold off the cargo racks, weapons, shields, docking computer, then I downgraded the modules to the lowest available. For this I netted 5,363,267 Cr. Then I sold the ship for another 278, 099 Cr.
In the end I ended up with 5,641,366 Cr, instead of the 5,105,039 Cr in the original offer.
The numbers for the T-7 and Asp were scaled the same.
It does take some time to do this because you need to take your ship out of storage, downgrade the modules and sell the other bits, then put it back, switch to a different ship, then sell the old one.
Last of all, I needed a sidewinder as a taxi so I could get all my ships in the same station; that led to a loss of ~10K Cr.
