Some strange and crazy things happen in this episode!

IUFB 1: Ceiling Fan Light
Nancy: $400
Adriana: $850

Drawing Desk--417; Picks $17; is correct, picks Key #3
Floor Sweeper--431; Picks $43; is correct, picks Key #5

Key #3 opens Freezer
Key #5 opens Car

The total is $8,616.  379 (One-Bid) + 515 (sofa) + 695 (pool table) + 7,027 (Showcase) = $8,616

OK, now it makes sense.
