Do you want to risk the aggravation later on (if) the buyer finds it ?
If it was me, I'd definitely disclose it. It wouldn't be worth the hassle to not do so.
Always disclose. Two reasons; 1) you don't want to be on the wrong side of an eBay dispute as a seller - you will lose, and 2) always be honest in life to avoid bad charma.
Definitely disclose, think if it this way, how would feel if you were to buy a device and find out it was bent ?
Of course you disclose -- how is this even a question? If you were the buyer, you'd certainly want to know about any defects, so you should give your buyers the same consideration you would expect. Beyond that, you'll almost certainly feel better about yourself for having been honest.
Also, buyers want to know they are being treated honestly. If you disclose this fault, potential buyers are more likely to believe the rest of your representations.

Heh, disclose it. You never know whether or not the person you sell it to is mentally stable. Plus, you know.....karma.

Only you can answer that question. Here are some diagnostic questions to help you arrive at the answer:
- Are you an honest person?
- Are you willing to do what it takes to maximize the benefit to you at the expense of others?
- Do you have concern for other people?
- Would you be concerned if your parents bought a device like that on eBay and the seller did not disclose the condition?
Don't use eBay for anything less than 'as new' condition, unless you're prepared to document the crap out of it with photos, and put it in BOLD, CAPITAL letters in the listing so you can't be accused of hiding it. eBay buyers get remorse and will use whatever tactic to get their money back.
Use Craigslist and let the buyer fully check it out before purchasing. And be upfront about it too. In my experience (and if you price it right) someone excited about getting a good deal will be quite tolerant about cosmetic issues, especially if the device is fully functional and in otherwise good shape.
