will get much more for it than if you sell it intact.

the fact that the pods can only be
disconnected after rmeoving a cover plate means that the pods are
unlikely
to get spearated from the unit and lost, for

Nope. You underestimate how determined resellers are to destroy the
value of what they're reselling. I don't know why they do it. These do
in fact show up routinely without pods.
