CSS Results for March 11
« on: March 11, 2009, 02:56:19 PM »
The first order of business is the price of a Prius. There's only been one offered before, back in late January, and according to whinbaby it was $24,374. It may look like a cheap car, but I assure you that they're not. I like making fun of people who pay that much for something that looks like a mushroom... okay I've never said it out loud, but I've thought it. Essentially the same price range as an Impala. And some rather bizarre prizes to go with it today! The Segway isn't new to us, it's around $6,500. But what the heck is a kite board? And how am I supposed to know how much it is?

Second showcase was one of those room/trip combinations that was thrown off by the addition of the private chef. He (or she) is $3K even. Belgium isn't that much either, couple it all with Broyhill and you have a pretty good middle-of-the-road showcase.

Two DSWs on that, BRB_TheFireball but more notably Stage Player, off by only $83! Several good bids on this, actually: namnhu12, dh027, BigJon, GoldenBulldog all had three-digit differences. On the Prius, UniquePerspective would have DSWd but almost WSDd the trip.

As for myself, no DSW, but I think this is my highest raw CSS score this season. Two three-digit differences and I kicked patootie on the Prius... I call that a good day. ;)

Wow, my first win in a long time!

Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

Given the fact that I had absolutely no idea what the Prius was worth, I'm not surprised I busted that one.  I guessed it was closer to $30K given the fact that it was a hybrid.  And it pretty much negates my solid bid on SC2 (at least I wouldn't have cashed on it).
