Greetings!
I've recently gotten into repairing electronics, for fun. I buy defective music gear, mostly, and tinker with it until I figure out what's wrong, source parts, repair, and usually end up selling it.
I'm an honest person, and I like the people who buy from me to be happy with their purchases. As such, I should really declare everything I know about the gear I'm selling. However, talking about repairs in an ad tends to shy away potential buyers, when really it should be the other way around. After all, the unit has been looked over, cleaned, extensively tested, and all failing parts have been replaced with new ones, sometimes better ones. Marketing dictates I should say it's been "recently serviced", and keep it at that. "Recently serviced" comes across as positive, and actually spells out that someone tinkered inside, but it does not imply a previous defect...
I realize only I can come to my own conclusions about my own ethics, but I"d be interested in hearing how others who resell repaired items feel about it. Do you divulge everything? Nothing? Somewhere in between? What sort of language do you use?
Cheers!
