Should repaired equipment be stated in the ad??

Just wondering what the community here thinks about this subject.
If a seller has had the equipment or product they are selling repaired because of damage of there own doing or something else such as shipping,should they put that in there for sale ad?

I believe they should,but that is just my opinion I believe that the potential new owner should be made aware of this and it should be in the ad.
What do others here think??
Thanks

I believe most people won't for fear of not selling it but sometimes if a component is older it may give some peace of mind to the buyer that it's been recently serviced.

I sold an amp a while back and it worked to my advantage that I stated that I had replaced several resistors and caps when I retubed it.

I think it is the ethical thing to do but let's face it, used electronics are a lot like used cars.
