Even if the bike's value was to drop a little, it won't match the amount of money spent at dealers for simple things like oil changes, plugs or filters. Plus, as it has been said, getting your hands greasy has the added advantage of keeping the bike in top shape all the time while discovering faults before they develop. I would personally buy a well looked after bike from a competent DIYer with no stamps in the service book without any problems.
