Selling a lapped CPU

[Devryd]

Hi

I own a msi x370 sli plus mainboard with a r7 3800x. I bought the 3800x last year when it was pretty cheap, since my board wasnt supposed to get zen3 support. Since I thought I would keep the CPU for a long time, I lapped it for better thermals. Now there are news, that there will be zen3 support for x370 after all and I was wondering if it is possible to sell a lapped CPU?
Does anybody have experience with it?
Thanks for your help

why wouldn't it be? as long as the buyer knows what they are getting, your good.

I know there is no reason, why it should be worth less. I just dont know, if other people see it the same way

If anything it should be worth more since you've added value to it. Assuming you can find a buyer who knows what lapping is.

Nah.. I don't think so. I wouldn't pay more for a lapped 3800, I would be inclined to pay less, unless she is a savage overclocker, which I highly doubt.. There are some unknowns. Personally, I would rather see what it is I am buying. and I would rather choose to lap or not. If I did it I know it is done properly.

Looking around on eBay, it looks like lapped CPUs tend to be selling for slightly less than the price of non-lapped, used CPUs. I found one example where the CPU sold for more than average: a lapped and delided 8600K - that was back when Intel was still using the tooth paste, so I can see someone viewing the delidding as a service that adds value. The rest of the CPUs were sold for below the average selling price. However, it's not like the value totally tanks.

Thanks for your experience. I didnt find any lapped cpus on ebay, so I thought you might know something
