How to sell a rooted Nook?

I'm going to be selling my Nook, and I see that the rooted ones fetch a higher price on Ebay.

But I was wondering what the best way would be to keep it rooted, but still have it ready for the buyer to set up with their own accounts.

I'm assuming a newbie purchaser (or else they'd just root it themselves), so I'd like them to be able to turn it on and sign in. Right now I have it at rooted stock 1.1. Can I get that to "out of the box" status? Or should I flash Cyanogen or Phiremod and do a reset to factory before sending it out?

I actually bought mine on Craigslist rooted. The seller's test email address was still on there. I had to flash a new rom to get it off. I would personally put cyanogen on, because it offers the best mix between stability and functionality. You may want to throw on Dalingrin's OC kernel too.
 
I decided it wasn't worth the hassle. Anyone who wants a rooted Nook can probably do it themselves, and I don't want the buyer to come back to be with questions or problems. So I put it back to stock 1.1.

If anyone is interested, I plan to sell it for $225 shipped via Priority Mail with buyer's choice of leather'ish or zippered nylon case. I paid $35 for each case.
 
Get a 2gb sd card and put all the stuff on it needed for rooting, along with a nice set of printed directions and include that. Leave the stock firmware stock and un-registered, etc. so the buyer has the choice of using as-is or rooting
