Since you want to sell it, follow these instructions: What to do before you sell, give away, trade in, or recycle your Mac - Apple Support. Follow them all the way to the end in which you are instructed to shut down the Mac after reinstalling OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) in your case.

Don't run the Setup Assistant. You're finished.

Excerpts from the above (with emphasis):

After reinstalling macOS, your Mac restarts to a setup assistant. Press Command-Q to shut down instead of continuing setup.

...

After resetting NVRAM, your Mac starts up to the setup assistant again. To leave the Mac in an out-of-box state, press Command-Q to shut down instead of continuing setup.
