I was making a generalization, hence the use of the word "usually"
In my experience selling crap, it takes a low price to get a ready, willing and able buyer for used car parts. Unless people know you or you have good references, they're not gonna trust the "it was only on the car for a week" shpiel... Thus the amount of time it was used really doesn't matter, although condtition does. Now if you don't mind if it sits on the market for a while, or if you've got a bigger market to work with in the first place, thats not always the case.
