I'd bid that meter to ~$120; it's a 87V, and it still has current calibration costing ~$80-150 depending on what was actually calibrated. Yes, that calibration expires soon, but 98% of the Flukes in service have NEVER been calibrated, and we still trust them (in general). That screen costs ~$9, last I checked.
I wonder whose truck that meter "fell" off of... so conveniently WITHOUT the bag of leads.

I am not my pants. No, I am not your pants either.
You'd have to be a special kind of stupid if you were to sell stolen goods that have so many identifying properties. The previous owner should recognize the marker text and the screen protector at first glance.
Then again, people selling stolen goods aren't quite known for their ability to make good choices.
You know, I just realized... and maybe I picked up on it subconsciously when I first thought it was stolen... but if you look carefully, you can see that the writing on the bottom of the meter has been altered.
The original writing is a bit faded... something like " VALVE PROTO " I think. Looks like our fleaBay pirate won his little game of Russian Roulette; it sold for $128.
[EDIT]
Sonuvacrap... I think I know where it came from. The VALVE PROTOTYPING department of Goulds Pumps; they have a manufacturing complex in Seneca Falls, about 15 minutes east of Geneva, NY.
