if it carries on like this pretty soon I'll be able to sell my old jack and rebuild the suspension on the proceeds !

I think I remember a jack, which was sold for around 500 Bucks. In my opinion this is rediculous
But if someone really wants to have an original Lotus Europa jack he is going to pay that much.

Maybe it's expensive because there's a plug-spanner with it?

He may be asking a penny less than $400.00...it remains to be seen if he gets it  . No bids so far.

Wow, that seems like a lot of money. Curious, though... this jack looks nothing like the one that I have with my 74 Special. Are there two styles available, or do I not have the correct jack (I thought it was original)

Seeing this price reminds me of the ash tray that was for sale for something like $300 a few weeks ago. Just last week I had the console out of my car, and during reinstallation I fumbled with the ash tray a bit to get it to fit back into place. I chuckled as I reminded myself that I had better not scratch it up, as it is a $300 dollar piece

I look at it like this.  If I didn't have a factory jack, I'd want one.  And, they don't sell em' at Kragen.  So there you have it. 

I am working on doing Porsche 944 aluminum jacks for the cars.  Need to fab up a plate for the lil' Lotus backbone.  The goal is to be able to use it on all of them with a back bone chassis.  Of course any scissor jack of that design will work but I like the lightness of the aluminum.
