Is it just me, or haven’t the winners of older contest been told?
I think after next 24h, most of the comments are telling this is too easy and they knew the answer after two seconds 😀
This is kinda thing that is easy to recognise if one has some experience on things this uses/is used to, but this might be ‘really’ hard for those who hasn’t been playing with another one.

WOW!!!!! I’ve been looking for one of those! I’ve just got to have it! Alan, when the contest is over I’ll give you $600.00 US for it (assuming it’s in working condition.) Contact me.
Good Luck!

Almost_There… are you talking about the item up for guessing? Those usually don’t cost much more than $100, depending on your application. After the contest is over, I can tell you where to get one or an equivalent.

Oops; it wasn’t what I thought it was. I’d like to change my offer to $0.00 (shipping included) with a full money back guarantee if I’m not completely satisified.
