Hi, It depends on who you were intending to sell it to I suppose. If you were selling to another blind person then yes, leaving VO on would probably make sence but if you were thinking of selling to a sighted person VO would just confuse them. To make things worse, on sites like eBay, most buyers will just claim that the item is faulty & instigate a return which causes a lot of hassle for the seller instead of just asking you for help.
