Is there a way to buy the bird without...

DJI very own site lists the Phantom alone. No camera, props, transmitter or anything.

The Phantom aircraft body is the closest thing available.

Wow. When gimbal/camera added it's more than the P3A package with controller. Almost as much as the P3P by itself.
Perhaps I need to see if I can find a reconditioned one someplace.

Or buy a new complete P3 and sell off your controller and charger

Yes you can buy the Phantom 3 on its own. Do NOT do that, it's not worth it.. Buy a whole new package and individually sell off what you don't need. You will end up ahead in the long run.
