E Type Jaguar jack


 This jack with the square recess is apparently a jack for an E Type Jaguar. Everything else on the table has a price tag- not the jack. 

When asked... "Well, I've seen them go for $500 to 1000 US". Yes, how much is this one?  It takes a bit of back and forth but eventually we arrive at the fact that he is asking $500 Canadian... 

I guess. If E types are selling for $100k, the accessories are going to be correspondingly ridiculous.

  1. Brutal phenomenon. Someone with deep pockets and/or out of desperation grossly overpays and it becomes the global benchmark (thanks Ebay!.) A $10-$20 garage sale item magically becomes worth $75-$100. In my area the local markets are mostly all Ebay influenced. I left Canada to vacation in the States and found the situation similar.... and yes I do hear the howls of protest from all the sellers out there!
