While it makes sense to have someone pull the shaft that knows what he's doing. I'm not sure who exactly that would be. I'm pretty sure some of the guys working at the local golf superstores are okay, but I'm not sure all of them are what I"d call "Experts". One good thing about when I pull a shaft. When I do it, I know who's doing it, I know I"m using a good shaft puller, and the right heat source. I also know that I CARE about the shaft I'm pulling, and it's not just a job, it's MY shaft being pulled. Can you say as much for the guy at Golf Galaxy? Or Joe's Golf Shop? Having a shaft pulled by a professional sounds like a good idea, and I can understand your point if you want to re-sell the shaft. I don't claim to be an expert or my any means the best club builder on earth, but at least I know I'll take as much time as is needed to do the job right, and I know I have good equipment for the job, and I know how to use it. And I care about the results. My guess is JPsuff and some others here feel the same way. They trust their own work more than that of a stranger.
