Depends, if you have any mission critical data on it you should secure erase it/do several full hdd passes. If it's just personal shit/porn/etc fuck it they don't care.

If it's just a computer for personal usage sure dont bother. They really don't care. Ever since I got wind of the stories of airports confiscating and stealing then selling code from software developer's devices I've realized there's no consumer contract that will protect you from corporate interests. Don't even risk it.
