electric tongue jack (good deal?)

For anyone out there who wants to put there 2 cents in, I am looking at getting an electric tongue jack. I did a quick search on ebay and came up with this.

can anyone tell me if this is as good of a deal as it seems.
If it is, someone else might be interested too.

Thanks

It seems like a decent deal if you need one. Be sure that your wheel will fit on it. They may be universal, I just don't know.

When I bought mine, I ended up with a jack with a 2 5/16 shaft. The TM has a 2 " hole in the hitch. Since I bought it through a dealer and he included installation, he had to cut a bigger hole in the hitch. Not a big deal for him since he had a plasma torch which cut a very smooth hole. Not such a good deal if I'd had to install it myself.

I didn't see where it said the diameter - might be a good idea to email the seller - or see if you can find the same unit where they say the diameter.

My jack, an Atwood, was about $200 installed.

Good luck.

I was doing some research last night, and it appears that the 3500 lb ones have a larger shaft (2 1/2") but it looks like the 3000 lb ones have a 2" shaft.
I don't know that I am concerned about the brand as much as the price. So if you guys / gals know of one that will fit the TM shaft without having to do any cutting please let me know. I might be better off just taking the TM somewhere and having them install one.
I also emailed the seller and he has not responded, but if he does, I will post his answer so that others who might be interested will know.

Thanks for the replies.....

edit: answer to shaft size
It has a 2 1/8” O.D. shaft with a standard 3 hole trailer frame mount.
