Totally agree. It's kind of like trying to sell a car with a motor that won't run. You can say that it is a minor problem until you are blue in the face, but any sensible buyer will have no choice but to assume the engine is garbage when assessing the value. How much work/money would it take to get it running? If you could have a video of the engine running at, for example, a machine shop, it would be worth a lot more. Otherwise it is worth little more than what a rebuildable core is worth.
