I don't think you will find an original one for $300 unless the seller doesn’t know what he has (wouldn’t be the first time!). I stopped trying to figure out the logic of EBay bidding a long time ago. I attempted to answer your original question with what I have been told. Years ago, a noted Shelby restorer showed me the difference between hand laid up glass shelves and later repo units constructed using a chopper gun.
