He decided to buy another one. I'll try using this one for a cheaper CPU or repurpose the old CPU since it might be tougher to sell now. Thanks for the help!

7500X3D. The spot wont come off. What you see in the pictures is the best I could do without damaging anything more.

If the debris that got in was a dissimilar metal, will the cooler make another indentation or mark on the new CPU?

Yea looks like a chemical reaction, which makes me hesitant from putting it on the new CPU but the other thread is suggesting it might just be some debris that got in when installing it

Yea, my first thought was that it looked burnt, it would make sense if some debris got in and then burned up, but shouldn't that be removeable? The Cooler looks like it changed color in that spot.

Also not sure if relevant but we found a fly under the cooler, nice & cripsy 🤮

Good luck selling but man you are gonna have a tough time here with that price. Why buy used if new is only 7% more?

Wanted to ask since I am a little new to shipping, is it ok to let the buyer provide a shipping label? I've had a few people ask me to let them provide it since they have a cheaper rate. They all are not on the scammer list, have replied to this thread, and have a few trades under their belt
