I shutter to think (no pun intended) the dollar amount of the stuff I’ve bought and sold over at FM over the years going back to the days of the Canon 1D which was A LONG TIME AGO. Never not sold an item and always gotten close to my ask. Never once had an issue on hundreds of transactions. Some phenomenal deals also on new full warranty with receipt gear from the Big 3 mfg’s being sold by some of the members! REALLY REALLY good deals if you are shopping for both used and new gear.
Once you get some positive seller feedback under your belt your stuff will sell quicker but being able to see the positive feedback of other members is the best aspect of the FM classifieds. If you buy and sell a fair amount and plan on being in this “hobby” for the long run it is worth the effort of establishing some solid feedback at FM. The site has always been great and the FM classifieds get a lot of traffic!

Just a sign of effective use and age. The Z8 and Z9 don't have shutters, but everything else does. But things like the mount are subject to wear based on use.

If a shooter doesn't use the physical shutter at all, would it even have a shutter count?
Yes - it has shutter actuations for both mechanical shutters and electronic.

I googled it (I should have done that originally but asking in the thread was instinctive) and I've read that using the electronic shutter doesn't impact the shutter count.

"Notice how I said mechanical shutter. When you use the electronic shutter, it doesn’t impact this number."
I think maybe it's brand specific, though.

Key offered me 850 for my 500pf which was used but the glass was excellent. MPB gave 1375. I have no doubt you can do better selling individual items but I wanted to sell a bunch of stuff in one go. Also my stuff was heavily used and not pristine. I’m satisfied overall. They took it all and in some cases offered more than I’d hoped.Keh is buying 500 pf in $594 (excellent LN), but would sell it in $1900
I have sold Nikon & Fuji cameras with MPB.
I am very satisfied with the amount paid and the service.

I check MPB and B&H and occasionally KEH and take the best offer.
I just sold a bunch of gear last week to mpb camera in NY , got my money after they inspected my shipment and even increased my quote.
There's a good article on Photography Life about selling gear you aren't using: https://photographylife.com/how-to-sell-used-camera-equipment
