That is apparently no longer an issue. Bulk pickup took my old water heater from a DIY replacement about 2 years ago for the normal $10.

A few years later when it was time to sell that house the agent pulled the permits and there was no permit for the water heater therefore the conclusion was it was an original water heater. I told her the date of the water heater installation and she updated her information on the listing. It ended up being no problem at all that it was a DIY without a permit.
