You are going to do what you will.
But I will say this anyway. I have sold probably as much used gear as anyone in say the top .005% tier as far as numbers. All of it at least seen as "Decent" gear. Most would call the great majority of it, "Hi-end", or even, "Boutique" type.
And all of it with the exception of a few pieces I sold as "Salvage" even though it did work was in incredible shape. Especially since I had each piece professionally serviced before I listed it. Not because any of it "Needed service". But because of my being an "Audiophile", myself. I felt obligated to do so.
After the first month dealing with various "Knuckleheads", of dubious intent.. Many with seemingly nothing to do except to ask if I would cut the price by a ludicrous amount. I soon listed all of the gear I was selling with the pricing as "Firm, Non-Neg and NO Trades wanted" And also quit answering the messages and emails about the price and etc. Just ignoring them completely.
That worked quite well for me!
