Take good photos!
Good photos are essential. On every level.

A bit of bling is what I meant by my smart ass answer. Fresh bar tape, etc.

If you are trying to sell a bike, new tires and a good looking seat impress casual riders more than anything else. Make sure the bike is as clean as possible and works as good as possible. Beware of getting sucked into the Law of Diminishing Returns.
But this is the BEST advice. Do not put new cogs chains whatever. If it's toast donate it to charity. Don't screw somebody. Karma can hurt.
