When selling an asset that has been depreciated is it better to have a big or small capital gain?

It is not so much up to you. If you sell an asset, the selling price minus your basis is your taxable gain. I guess you could sell it for less, but what would that do for you. People learn that doing things so that you have less taxes, is just taking money out of your pocket. If you sell something at a profit, your taxes will be less that one third of your profit, so in order to reduce your taxes, you have to reduce your income. If you try to sell an asset for less to yourself, a family member, or a friend then the price is not an arms length transaction and if audited, you will pay taxes on the fair market value, pay penalties, interest, and probably will be convicted of tax fraud.
