You are confusing different things.
End user shouldn't care about the age of a domain, unless that age brings some history that he/she should be concerned about in a positive or negative way.
But age of a domain could be a good predictor of quality.
Meaning, if only about 2% of all domains are decent and another 2% semi-decent, for aged domains, those percentages could be 5-10%.

I personally think it may vary from one end user to another, but I do see people considering it as an important factor especially on platforms like Flippa.
There's also often an argument on SEO forums about whether or not the domain age is important, but I think it's something that may add some weigh to your negotiations at the very least.
In reseller market , it has value but i don't think any end user gives age a value

That's often because not many understand the value an aged domain may bring them. However if you're good at explaining you can refer them to the whois records to verify the domain age and then perhaps link them to an article talking about how domain age can be an important factor.
May be the end user i met have something different in mind rather than age. But in reseller market we gave more preference to age
That and there's also the fact that an aged domain may come with a lot of great backlinks that could boost the new site's rankings in the search engines.

When an end user makes a $100 offer for a domain registered 20 years ago, that doesn't even cover registration fees. Then, when you tell them that, they say, "well, you didn't sell it for 20 years". That response simply shows their lack of education, at which point you terminate the exchange.
I agree with you @Isac all the names I have sold are hand regs. It’s the name that matters. A better question is why are so many aged domains not sold after ten or fifteen years? Not relevant anymore? Exorbitant price? Simple answer nobody liked them enough. End user has to like the name.
Domain investors are the ones most concerned with age.
If you are a young man good for you but I don’t want to die with a bunch of names I never profited from.
