Definitely won't be doing that! I'm selling them as working but as is, I just don't have the time to start changing things in them! In fact, just lugging them around and getting a couple of shots of a good raster is a bit of an imposition!
Checking whether there are any (if UK or German made there might be) and just cutting them out is also an option. Problem with selling equipment using RIFA's is that the buyer will complain about the smoke when he plugs in the set.
