I'm pretty sure it's quite hubristic to presume to know what Jesus would do about this - if anything

This is what Jesus said and did about money changing and the sale of items for which the people of God coming to had a legitimate need to fulfill their religious obligations: John 2:

[13] And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
[14] And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
[15] And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
[16] And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

[17] And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

I’m well aware of what Jesus said and did…my comment was more about presuming to have the knowledge of Jesus’ actions in the here and now.
