In my opinion it is worth most in that condition, if you might sell it don't sand anything off or prime it, it will make it look like you have something to hide. In that shape people can at least see exactly what they are getting.

I think that's a $500 tailgate. There just aren't many OE tailgates in that condition out there. If the paint was perfect, you would be talking an $800 - $1,000 gate.
