You'd have to sell a kidney too, maybe? Bidding has gone up from $250,000 to $325,000 and there are still 10 days to go.

I note the ad doesn't once mention Canadian. There is reference to it in the comments and they concede it is a good thing but it's almost like the auction didn't want that fact to be well known.

Indeed in the main text only hints like "Like its prototype, the production M4A1, including the Grizzly variant, featured a cast, single-piece upper hull welded to an armor-plated lower hull" and "the seller reports that the white serial numbers are not original." But the side bar lists "Cast-Hull M4A1 Medium Tank. Canadian-Built Variant of the Sherman".
Edited to add: I have been informed the description was changed, so your initial comment was correct. The main text now states: “This M4A1 Grizzly is an adaptation of the Sherman medium tank that was built in Canada in late 1943”
