I've sometimes had better luck pointing out all the problems with stuff I'm selling, genuine or not. On flea bay, sometimes you get buyers looking for deals, or thinking, "No, it can't be that bad. Seller doesn't know what he has."

So I'd go full disclosure, and get what you get. Or keep in the pile of iffy mics, next to my Shure BG58...

That's how I got rid of my old lawn mower. Parked it by the side of the road with a sign that said FREE and another listing everything wrong with it. Ten minutes later it was gone.

(Why list everything that's wrong? So someone doesn't think they got cheated. Even if it's free, it can become a liability if it's unrepairable and you have to pay to dump it. I've heard it said that nothing is ever truly free.)

My town has a free curbside collection of such things once a month... Several years back I carried a few decades worth of accumulated detritus (old computers and the like) to the curb. I started loading it out a day early and by collection time 80% or more had already been carted off by scavengers.
