Selling a modded mobile through a recycling site?

I have rooted and installed a custom version of android on my galaxy s but now want to sell it on to get some cash. Has anyone ever done it? Do you think I will get a lower offer from them as it is not factory original software? It runs fine without problem, running the latest ice cream sandwich version of android.

    If your worried, how hard would it be to restore to factory original settings?

    It may be doable, but its not as simple as an option in the menu. It means changing the core software completely and I am not sure if I can find the factory version. What I have done is not without risks and can completely fry the phone, so don't want to reverse the process if I don't have to.

    Do this. Go to xda-developers forum. There is usually tutorials on how to restore to stock rom.
