I remember a particular story where a potential buyer was looking to buy a Gretsch custom shop from me. The guitar is from 2012 which is a transition period for the Gretsch custom shop. By 2012 they started to add a "custom shop certificate", but not all guitars from that year come with it.
He contacted the custom shop, told them he was going to buy a guitar that had no certificate and they actually issued a replacement and were getting ready to send it to him. Luckily I contacted them around the same time, and proved I was the owner of the guitar, so they ended up sending the new certificate my way.
The guy was also looking for a discount on the guitar based on this fact. I still have the guitar, as I massively regretted even thinking about selling it. And now I also have the newly issued certificate, which to me is nothing but a pointless peace of paper. But there you go.

Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Surely it's only important to bedroom dealers and serial flippers?
Never owned a PRS / would love to have a DGT (with all the case candy please).........
There's things I've had, there's things I wanna have"
Maybe I've been lucky?
More of an issue was the lack of bird inlays- I operated on the premise that a PRS without birds would be mine forever, until a few years ago where DGT's started coming with moons and people tended to be more relaxed about them.
I got decent money for my heavily gigged and modded '89 PRS 10 top with moons, despite the sweet switch being swapped for a tone pot and a 5 way for a 3 way, but in the early 00's no one would touch it.

If they’re asking for paperwork for a budget guitar, then they’re just tyre kicking assholes.
I guess we all buy guitars for different reasons.
All deserve to be treated appropriately and sales across castes should probably be handled by escrow companies
They may be worthless to you but they could make it that little bit easier to sell the guitar at some point in the future. Everybody wins.
