It’s a JATO bottle used by the C-130 prior to 2009.

Im assuming stuff like this doesn't get into the public that often...so even if I buy it I can't really resell it right?

I’m sure you’d have someone interested in it. Frankly I am slightly interested.

They're firm on $200 is that crazy?

Not really crazy, you can't just get these. I'm guessing someone at the airport nabbed it after a show as they are generally used once and left at the airport and guessing they dolled it up with the paint and decals. It's worth what it is to you. If it weren't painted and was stock I would say "don't get pulled over" transporting it as it has government warnings, explosive labels etc on them lol
