If it went for that much it'd be among the highest priced tools ever sold.  I'm
guessing AT BEST it'd get half that price, but since tool prices have (for the
most part) been slowly and steadily dropping for a while now, I'd think it would
more realistically go for $2,000 to $5,000 USD if sold without reserve.  This
is, of course, just a guess...
