Vintage board game - Stock Ticker

Bought: $2.50 Sold: $19.99 Fees: $2.44 Profit: $15.05

I was driving around looking at garage sales a few weeks ago, and I noticed this box from the road and knew that it was collectible, and I was hoping that where there was one vintage board game there would be more. Sadly, this was the only vintage board game, though I did buy a unused copy of D&D Clue which should sell well. Stock Ticker is an interesting board game, in that you bet on stocks on a fictional stock market, but the value and whether stocks rise or fall is based entirely on dice rolls - so it is essentially random. Most board games incorporate some degree of random, but this game has no real skill, just luck and randomness. It is a bit of an anomaly in that regard.
