Re-lock or leave unlocked before selling?

So I'm selling my TP2, thanks to everyone here for making it such a great phone!

I'm wondering what people have done before selling their unlocked TP2s. I just unlocked it for ROMs only, and currently have an older build of Vin's plutonium ROM. I know its a better phone than it came from the factory as, but for selling to the general public (Craigslist) would it be safer to flash back to stock and/or relock? Just wondering what others have done.

Thanks!

I would flash it back to stock just make them aware that its unlocked. most people get excited to hear that.

I sold my old Touch Pro unlocked and I got a thousand questions about what it meant to be unlocked, I told them too google it, but it does get people excited and you could probably sell it for more. I sold my Touch Pro for more because of it.

I agree. Unless you new owner is a bit of a phone geek, a custom flashed phone is likely to be a big headache. Not to mention that he'll never get it supported.

That would be why I said to flash back to stock, lot less issues for who ever it gets sold to.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll flash it to the stock sprint 6.5 rom, and let them know its unlocked.
