Would treated CD's or OOP's-hold its value later?

Hi all,
Please give me some guidance here. Before I go and purchase a German cutter that shaves the sides of the cd polymer off to better the sound. Or all these green markers that you outline the CD with- Would they decrease or increase the value if ever they were to be sold later on in life. i am talking about CD's that are quoted on todays market at US$50 and above. would you buy these or shun away and get a non treated one if you had the option?

The lathe that cuts the edge of the CD polymer has been about 3-4 years old as a tweak. It is yet to early to decifer if it will start pitting the aluminum or not. A few of my old CD's drom early 80's had the aluminum right to the centre of the Cd and have showed major signs of pitting. hence the concern.
I suppose as Viridian explained- there is no going back! That is fine, but will it drop my re-sale value. Take for example Blues in Orbit- Duke Ellington MFSL's 1st SACD ever, is out of print (OOP) and a 2nd hand copy goes for around $70-$100.
What would the market pay if I did my cuts on it, Nespa'd it and used a CD cleaner(the latter two being not physically noticeable).
What would you pay for it? 50% of the value?
Thanks guys for your feedback.
