What counts as rough condition?

I'm genuinely concerned the car world will never go back to normal. This little bubble has got so many non-enthusiasts buying cars as "investments" it's creating an artifical scarcity that will only get worse as even more people learn they can make money by ruining our hobby.These people are going to have a whole lot of learning to do when things get back to normal in the car world.
It's almost like watching people handle money that didn't live through '08 or the interest rates of the 80's.
Butt stains on the carpetWhat counts as rough condition?
One of the reasons I got the Raptor beyond just being a fun vehicle is having a specialty vehicle that will hold value over the long haul. F150 raptors always seem to do well and retain value very good. Looking at the current slim open market for individuals (not dealers) selling (or flipping) a Braptor seems to be unexpectedly soft. Most are not making the reserve and some have barely broken 100K in bids. I know this is silly on a 80K vehicle but hoping its not a true lack of interest or dislike of the vehicle in broader scale. Considering I've seen Wildtracks go for top dollar would have thought the Braptors would be flying of the auction blocks. Wondering what this means down the road for values?
And Halfelven is bidding, so this may be BaT #16 Bronco for him, I think . . .Bring a Trailer's first Ford Bronco Raptor just went live. Currently at $75K and climbing.

This 100%. We are in a weird economic bubble since 2020 and folks will be in for a rude awakening when things get back to normal and their (insert any vehicle name here) isn't worth more than they paid years ago.It's a new car. What SHOULD happen is it loses 10k in value the moment you sign the paperwork. It's absurd that people expect differently these days.
This.... 50k over as an average is BS bunch of manipulation happing to create a false inflated market.I'm going with $115k being the current market value to actually sell fairly easily. There have been a few listed on different sites at $125k for over a week that have not sold.
