It's up to the buyer, so it's hard to predict. I would definitely buy a wonderful sounding instrument with dings, but I would expect a sizable deduction for every ding.
All my instruments are played, and all are near mint. I put a nice dent in my flugelhorn bell by hitting my trumpet water key when picking it up off the stand. That doesn't add mojo and it doesn't make it more of a player's instrument - it makes me way too careless for those few seconds.
