The rare TPS-L2 guys & Dolls at Pawn stars

I’ve found via Renzgi at Stereo2go forums that the famous very first version of the SONY TPS-L2 ‘guys & dolls’ is shown at Pawn Stars TV show.

Looks that it’s still for sale in their shop:

I’m surprised that these units go for such a high price. Gosh! 1200$ is a lot of money for a walkman. I guess that being the very first series can be a reason for that, however…

PS: If you want a Guys & Dolls at a cheaper price, I think you may like this (thanks Longman):
