Is it worth the bother to remove tow plates?

We are trading in our 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk in a week. The tow plates will not work on the new Trail Hawk.
Is it worth it to have some one remove the base plate off the Wrangler and attempt to sell? Or should I just leave it on and not even bother? Will I be able to sell it very easily? And if so for appox how much?
DH thinks it would just end up in our garage, but I think someone would be able to use it?

I put ours on and will probably take it off if we ever get rid of it, including the wiring harness and aux. braking as well. It's gotta be worth something, but the bigger picture for consideration is what the difference in value might be. I mean we already have 10K miles more on it with towing than what the odometer says and people must be aware of this. On the other hand if it gets old enough, it shouldn't make a difference and might even help with the sale for someone looking for a toad, already set up and ready to go. I think with a 2010 and especially if one would trade it in, leaving it intact, would be a deterrent. Wranglers not so much as other vehicles, probably, but still not so good IMO.
