Cue Value - Unchalked vs. Test Hit?

I just received a custom cue in the $1,500 range. I am planning on selling it, but would love to hit a few balls with it first. My question is: If you were buying a new custom cue, would it be more valuable to you if both shafts were unchalked? If one shaft was unchalked and the other shaft was just chalked for a few test hits would that lessen the value? All opinions appreciated. Thanks.
