Gold CD Dealbreaker?

Long story short, I will soon be selling my cd collection. As for the gold discs in my collection (just over two dozen), I plan to sell them here on Audiogon so they may go to good homes where they will be appreciated.

Here is the issue: I have treated some with green marker on the edges. For some I used the official CD Stoplight pen, on others I used a Staedler green marker. All of them are in excellent shape and have a minimal amount of wear, but will the green marker prevent them from selling?

Thoughts?

Funny, I was just looking at some CD's today that still have the green Stoplight on them and reminiscing. :)

I don't think it would degrade the value, but I thought I recalled that you could wash it off if you chose to.

I would simply leave the paint on them if it doesnt effect play.

Advertise them as Audiophile Modified editions and offer them for 3 times what they are worth. They will sell like hotcakes !!!!

to a collector, the markings could be a deal breaker.

Thanks for the responses. In the interest of laziness I wanted to know whether or not to remove the marker. Reading the comments ths far, I think I will. I will post the discs in the marketplace in the near future. There are some old MoFi, DCC, and Sony Mastersound.
