Approx. 1987 (?) Specialized Stumpjumper

I tried to search old catalogues, etc. to pin down the vintage, and I'm guessing this is around 1986 or 1987. Note the lugs and the U-brake.

more like a 1988-1990

Nope, it's definitely earlier than 1988. The lugged frame is the giveaway.

Upon further research, I think there's a good chance it's a 1987 (the last year for lugged construction), as the "Comp" designation was there in '87, and that year Olympic Blue was a color, which appears similar to the one in the eBay ad.

I also found this 1987 Comp:

I said 1988 due to the parts, but 87 will still work. Really don't think it's an 86.
