Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

I've got a korg poly-800 MK1 in good condition that I'm about to sell, but
was wondering if I should modify it first (add the backup battery, add
knobs for resonance/cutoff/noise). I think I could do an alright job since
these mods are relatively easy, but I was wondering if I would benefit
monetarily from doing the mods before selling or if I should leave it in an
as is condition, as otherwise I have my hands full with plenty of other
projects. Plan to sell it on the eBayne and from doing a little research,
it looks like it sometimes goes one way or the other, however I don't see
many of these units that are sold in a modified condition. Has anyone
bought one that was already modified?

Thanks,
Joshua

Maybe too late, but here's my 2 cents.... :-)
When I bought my poly from ebay, I got an unmodified one.
Although there weren't a lot of poly's on ebay at the time,
I probably would have gone for the unmodified one. My
thinking is, "who knows if this joker did a good job or not?"
(no judgement on YOUR abilities). Of course others might
lean toward, "I can't do the mod myself so I should get one
that's already modded."... All things being equal, skipping
the mod is less trouble for you. :-D
