But to partially complete something leaves the buyer with one of the following:

- If they are handy then something won't be to their liking, so all you are doing is making the job harder for them.

- If they aren't handy they will see something that "requires work" to be completed, and an extra cost.

You want to have projects done as opposed to being half done, IMHO.
I can't speak for Shane, but in my case I bought the house with a partially finished basement (bedroom and bathroom). I don't think partially finishing a basement (as compared to fully finishing) is so bad.
