Fellow Lista's,
Two points:
1) First, No one expects the Spanish Inquisition...Oops, wrong list.
First, I agree with Frank that this $150.00 jack is probably not a Spridget
Jack. I
can't find it even in my rubber bumper Leyland parts manual.
2) I think there could be something fishy with the bids. The high bidder
retracted
his bid last night and some other jer..., uh bidder replaced the high bid so it
remains at $150.00.
Me and my buddys haven't looked through the parts stash in a long time, but we
used
to literally have a crate of various Spridget jacks. Many odd car parts that you
price "new" is going to be expensive aka over-priced. Ever price a factory alloy
wheel for a current manufacture car? That doesn't make it worth that. I find it
hard
to believe that these things can really be worth more than $25-$50.
PS I reluctantly mentioned the crate of Sprite jacks. Please don't contact me
for
parts as we no longer sell parts.
