I'm, not an expert but personally I don't think it's original.
Going by its colour and the rough mark at the very bottom make me have doubts.
But most importantly, what really makes me doubts its authenticity is the fact that even though there is such a high price for the item nowhere in the listing does it say that it is an authentic original vintage piece. If you were selling such a wanted item you would make mention of this fact.
I have done a lot of dealing on EBay and encountered quite a few dishonest buyers and sellers. I could be wrong on this but personally I think this is a case of someone with a copy trying to pass it off as an original and if there is any arguments or cases opened with EBay over it he can basically say that nowhere in the listing did he ever say that it was an original etc so he didn't break any rules and you got the item that was pictured and described in the listing.

I have to second Mark's opinion on this one. It is very hard from pictures but the rough bottom, look of the plastic and maybe it is just me but the details dont seem very sharp. I also agree with the point made about the vagueness of the listing. I would personally be uneasy about purchasing it.

I really dont like the glossy look of the plastic. That, and the blurred details, make me think its a reproduction. I would spend more than $5 on this piece. Its not worth the risk.
