Whatever it is, if it is a USA jack, it's worth $25, unless the hydraulic ram is deeply pitted, etc. And you can't tell that until you get there to look at it in person. But if the seller is saying that it works ok now.....GO! GO! Get that thing bought!!!

Why cant I ever get this lucky!
The handle grip appears to have been replaced/modified and the release valve knob looks to be missing. You need to check this out in person or get some better pics to confirm as I'm pretty sure these replacement components are near to impossible to find. Possibly a different factory handle configuration?

Off topic, But in that picture there it shows a weaver jack under the car and a Ausco outside? Im confused... Im not aware of any affiliation with the 2 companies.
I noticed that as well. It's a seems a bit bizarre that jacks from two different manufacturers are depicted in that ad. Perhaps the Auto Specialities Manufacturing Company manufactured, handled or distributed Weaver units at some point like Castle Equipment does these days?

the link for the add is no longer valid. did it look like this?
Well, after waiting three days I get a e-mail saying that it was sold. It really annoys me when sellers/buyers take their time responding. Whenever I sell something, I make sure I check my e-mail consistently and reply back within a reasonable amount of time. I also take off the ad when it sold. Anyways, I'll just continue keeping an eye out.

I emailed about an Ausco on CL here in Pittsburgh earlier this week... of course... I've not heard back. And the add, though a few weeks old, is still up.

If there is a phone number, ALWAYS call, text, etc. email is almost never a winning bet
