JAOS roof carrier on the watch list

I came across a JAOS roof carrier that's up for dibs. I like it but can't imagine ponying up 35,000 yen or about $400 for a used JAOS carrier. I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens. I like JAOS but more and more the truth is that their products are seriously overpriced. Here is the carrier:
 Here you get a clean look at the carrier and the accompanying Terzo bars. Don't really need the bars but will take them I guess. They pretty much used the same size carrier for a lot of the vehicles. Landcruiser is same as 4Runner. The post says this came off of a Surf and I guess that that's a 185 in the picture but not sure.
 Here is a good pic from above. Will have to get some clips for the two sets of H4 fogs I have. Also want to run three IPF 817 lights: one on each remaining side. These will give 180 degrees of light and have the car totally covered no matter what. The IPFs are going for about $75 a pop. Figure I'll just tie them all into one switch or keep them separate and have three different switches on the dash.
And here you get a better look at the Terzo bars and clips.

I like the carrier but at this price I'll pass.
