Title: Ebay Europa Jack finished
Post by: cal44 on Tuesday,January 29, 2013, 12:48:03 PM
I the auction is over but I thought some might get a surprise as the final selling price.

 :o

and I thought the ashtray was, erm, "interesting".  $500 for a jack. I'm beginning to think I could sell a couple of bits off my car, hardly notice they're gone,  and then go out and buy a spare car for when it's raining.....

Sadly I would have paid that much if I didn't have the set already.............I never never mentioned I was smart. 

But in the long run, it's just money and they don't make the jacks any longer.........I don't think.

The storage bag was a bonus as those are always long gone.  Hope the ratcheting handle works.  They break if you look at em' wrong.

Wow! That's quite a price, and it's not in pristine condition, either.

The jack that came with my car looks quite a bit different than this. Mine looks like a standard scissor jack. Do others have the scissors type also?

I think mine is a scissor jack and maybe blue? but I haven't looked at it in quite some time.  I'll have to take it out of the bag and look next time I stop by my garage.

This is similar to the VW jack I picked up at a yard sale for $1, with the exception that the base doesn't fold.  I've modified it to press dings out of my steel wheels.  Oh, and it didn't come with a bag  :FUNNY:

It is never too much if you need it.  And they don't make them any longer.
