That sticky note on my curb pile came with a hard truth

Last Saturday I put out a box of old picture frames and a wobbling IKEA nightstand, the kind where one leg is shimmed with a folded coaster. Someone taped a sticky note to the nightstand that said 'please don't leave broken junk, this is a nice swap group.' At first I was like, rude, but then I looked at the frames and one had a cracked corner and a dried blob of glue from my last attempt to fix it. So I took the note to heart, pulled everything back inside, and spent an hour wiping down the frames and actually replacing the missing screw in the nightstand with a proper one from my spare jar. I relisted it with a close-up photo and a clear line saying 'minor scuffs, totally usable, no big deal' and it got grabbed within four hours by a lady named Dana who thanked me twice. Now I go through everything with a damp cloth and a flashlight before posting, even my old bread maker with the stuck timer. Do you all fix things up before listing or just snap a quick photo and hope for the best?
