LOL - I just gave mine away to Jim Cramer back in February.

Say, you don't suppose he's trying to make a few bucks with it, do you? :lol:

i had one of those things,no idea where it could be now.
Never showed the old man trying to put all those figures you had to punch into it?
Think he would have fallen asleep again before finishing even 1 race.

Just in case anyone needs them he has a lot of pots and pans for sale. I'm sure they are new!

P.T. Barnum & 'BigHoss' are right. There's a sucker born every minute.

They haven't been particularly hard to find, and cheap. If that is a legit price, I would have to think some collector really wants the original box, etc which you never see. Or does everything on Pawn Stars get bid up like crazy for no reason?

For an actual horseplayer, there is no reason on earth to want one, but if you have one, might be the time to put it on ebay.

The one I gave away had the original box and manual. And it still worked!

He mentioned something about betting $20 on some horse that was running the next day. Too funny.
