Here's 2 cents to play with

IMHO, by the time you've gotten to level 3, the set has lost its integrity, and
you would be better served in selling by grouping remaining specialty pieces
together and selling them that way

If a set in this condition still has box and instructions, it will have more
value of course. You can't advertise it as MIB, of course, but I would call it
"Complete Set, reproduced with original instructions/box"
This is how I created my first 396 T-P Engine. It could sell to unknowing
buyers as an original out-of-box set, but I won't do that.

Some people don't care about sets/boxes with smoke. I put them in the garage
for a year or two until the residue sublimates away

I don't think so.
