GotAJack Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I found this old jack. Does anyone have any info about it? How much should I ask when I sell it? I think its a Walker G-373. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gossp Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 That’s a neat jack! I know nothing about the jack collecting market so cannot offer advice on if this style or model has a strong collector value, but… I and several of my friends use old mechanical jacks because we trust them more than cheap hydraulic jacks and high end hydraulic jacks are freakishly expensive. A good mechanical floor jack is worth two cheap ones when I am buying… so 80-150 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) The cost to ship it across the country or into the next state will cost 2 to 3 times whatever anyone pays you for it.

1937hd45 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) That may be a roll around jack with the short body. Edited March 11, 2023 by 1937hd45 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Obviously you fellers on here haven't bought any Birkenstocks lately. More $$$ than an average pair of shoes. Put the Jack on FB Market place for around $100 or a little better. Local pickup only. If it does not sell in a week, Drop the price $25. After another week, drop it again until it sells. Also consider offers. I've seen these sell for $15 to $20 bucks at an auction but it had been a number of years ago. It may be worth more now to someone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I like how someone joins the forum for an instant appraisal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 If you're not an automotive-type person, it never hurts to ask and get some opinions. At the end of the day however, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. If the item were something like a common Falcon or Impala hubcap, somebody that really needs it might be happy to pay that $25 asking price. To the next guy it's just another $1 frisbee or a wall hanger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Appears to have a W cast into its frame? Walker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lump Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Shipping is cost-prohibitive for items like this. Where are you located, Gotajack? I had one similar, and eventually met a fella who collects such things, and he wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I think threads like this would go a lot better if the OP put a bit more effort in to the original post and question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOCATION being requirement # ONE, Not your street address, STATE would help on any item over 20 pounds or in a box 2 foot square. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13Caddy2 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Got a connection with a tool truck ?? Give it to him on consignment, tell him he can have anything over what you want--I did it with mine selling tool box's, which i didn't want to ship-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotAJack Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 Thank you to the people who had helpful replies. I’m not a car guy, that’s why I joined recently, just to see if I could get help on identifying and value. Obviously the jack is not anything special and not worth the effort to ship. The thing is 5 feet long and weighs 30 lbs of cast iron on one end. Hope this helps with some of the replies. Oh I live in Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63RedBrier Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thanks for checking back in, GotAJack! If you were closer I may be interested, but shipping would be expensive! GLWTS… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I used to have two of these. They are kind of sketchy to use, and would drop cars every now and then. I dragged them to Hershey for a few years, and advertised them for sale at a very low price. I eventually gave them away to a local scrapper. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1wonton Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I'd ask about a million dollars, then sit around dreaming about what I'm going to do with all that money........................... Seriously, people all the time ask "How much can I get........". Just put a price on how much you want and let it go for whatever you can get. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
