Good topic.
I'll say this: At some point in the not too distant future, I am going to sell
one of my Metroliners, and one of my Airport Shuttles. The one I sell will, in
each case, be the worst example of it that I have. And I'll swap parts (and
gaps where missing parts belong) until that example has the worst part in every
case.
But whoever buys it will know that. I would be frustrated if I bought something
thinking it was pristine and the condition wasn't disclosed up front, and I
certainly would not want to do that to anyone else.
But to answer your first question, I'd say the answer is yes, and I am OK with
it, as long as full disclosure is practiced.
