How much are you paying for them? Personally, I'd be reluctant to buy a refurbished board simply because I don't really know what that means. It could be a customer return that ultimately turned out to be "fine" in factory tests, but when I get the board I could find out that it struggles to deliver the current needed for a mild overclock under full load even though it runs perfectly at stock... and that would piss me off.
If you have the means to test them fully, or have a guarantee that there's nothing wrong with them, you might do better to sell it as lightly "used" or something -- in which case I'd check what they're going for on eBay, which is usually the rock-bottom cheapskate price.

Comes with a 180 day direct warranty so it's no big deal to me to buy them and there is always a demand for a reufrb market. I doubt anyone spending that much on a board would buy refurb anyway and I was just using them as examples. There are a lot more from Z77s to the 2011s. Everything else they have is over priced though.
I don't like selling on ebay for the reasons you listed as well as their high arse fees. Amazon seller account is where it's at. I find I get more money for stuff because people trust Amazon more and prefer it over the auction format even though they aren't buying from Amazon. The fees also don't rape you in the arse. No payment fees like paypal and no 10% listing and selling fees. I save around 6-7% on Amazon. You just have to compensate for shipping in your price because Amazon caps the shipping cost you can charge and it varies by items.
