Bulky items like heatsinks and large transformers should be removed and as lostinlodos says, does not impact the board price.
As for damaged boards, as long as the board type can be correctly determined and the mutilation was not done as part of harvesting components, you should be getting the correct grade and price for the board. Last year, I brought in a telecom grade board that had a burn on it resulting from a power surge. Boardsort still gave me full price for it.
