Not doing themselves any favors with those bug eyed wide angle shots...
seems legit, O + 6 digits would make it an early '90s. One way to be sure is to pop the neck off and check the stamps on the heel and in the neck pocket
The logo looks odd and I think there should be a grownding strip from the bridge to the pickup.
Not all MIJ Jazz Basses have the grounding strip. The tuners on this one look right. The logo does look a little odd, but I had a MIJ Precision Bass from 1989 with the same type of logo.
only certain year reissues have the copper ground strap
fair market value might be $500ish US, maybe? not that i'd pay that much, personally.

You need to remember the OP is in Canada. They will not get those kind of prices as most buyers are American and tend to avoid foreign sellers. I would put the value closer to $500 CDN.
Logo and wood grain look suspect. Tuner positions don't look right to me either.
Totally legit to me. my fretless neck logo is exactly the same only sn is on headstock back, that changed to the heel later.
