[therealcu2010]

And here goes WooWho's spin, looking to beat 45 cents. pathy's standing over there, hoping that WooWho gets less than 45 cents, as he wants to go to the Showcases.  Who will win? Let's find out.


...Almost a tie, but not quite. Ten cents won't do it. Sorry WooWho, enjoy your car. pathy, you're going to the Showcases! *Dig '07*

pathy is going to the showcases to try to win big. Showcases are next, don't go away!

[therealcu2010]

The top winner in our Showcase today is Army! And our runner up today is pathy! In just a moment, I'm going to show each of you a fabulous showcase full of prizes to bid on. The one of you who is closest to the actual retail price of your own showcase without going over, will win it. But, if you're the winner, and you're within $250 of the actual retail price of your own showcase, you will win both showcases!

Army, as the top winner you can choose to bid on or pass this first showcase. Here is the first showcase!

This showcase contains prizes revealed as Megan plans her summer vacation.

Megan loves the summer, you see, and every year, she tries to get as much out of it as she can. After all, summer only comes once a year! Well, this year, she has a lot planned, but she always starts off her summer by going to the water in her new…kayak!

The Sandpiper kayak from Eddyline is easy to paddle and weighs 38 pounds.  Take to the lakes and rivers in this kayak, perfect for fishing or just enjoying nature.

However, there’s much more for Megan to do than just kayak. There’s the beach! Megan loves the beach, spending as much time there as she can, soaking up the sun, enjoying the water, and just having a darn good time.  This summer, however, Megan has grown tired of the same old beach she’s always gone to, so this year, Megan is going to the beaches of fabulous…Rio!

You and a guest will fly round trip from Rochester to Rio de Janeiro for a five-night stay in a luxury hotel located near the beaches of Rio.  Soak in the sun, enjoy the nightlife, and look for Megan on the beach! And we’ve included a rental car!

Now that Megan is nice and tan, she’s ready for one final adventure. You see, this summer, she’s embarking on something she’s never done before.  And you’re going to join her, as she takes in the fresh, open air cruising the highways of America in this brand new…CONVERTIBLE!

The 2011 Ford Mustang V6 Convertible! Cruise the wide open roads of our fine country in this fine convertible, which comes with standard equipment, the Ford Mustang!

And this showcase, in which Megan is now sad that summer is over and it’s time to get back to work, can be yours if, the price is right!

Army, would you like to bid on that showcase or pass it over to pathy?

...wait, I'm the top winner?  Even after that failboat I put up in Five Price Tags?  Sweet!

I'll bid on this one...and bid $32,100.

(Random note: According to Firefox spellcheck, 'failboat' is not a word.  But it should be.)

[therealcu2010]

$32,100 for Army.


*DING*

pathy, here is your showcase!

*FF '94 vamp* *all Leslie except where noted*
This showcase contains clocks. Apparently nobody wants them anymore, so we have too many of them lying around.  Therefore, we’re going to give them all to you! And it all starts with this lovely new grandfather clock!

The Ashley grandfather clock from Howard Miller will look great in your living room.  Now you will always know what the time is when you are watching TV!

But, while one clock is nice, it’s not good enough for us. So we’re going to give you another grandfather clock!

The Vulliamy grandfather clock from Keininger has a walnut case, with solid brass column caps, beveled crystal glass, gold-plated decorations and numerals, and more.  This clock will look fantastic in your living room…just move the other clock to another room first. Maybe the dining room?

But why should grandfather clocks get all of the love? We’ve got plenty more clocks to go around, such as this wall clock!

The Maxwell wall clock from Howard Miller will look great on any wall. This clock has a hardwood cherry finish with a polished brass dial with silver chapter ring.  This clock will go great in your bedroom! Or maybe the kitchen. Who knows?

However, you need a new conversation piece in your home. You can only talk about grandfather and wall clocks so much before people get bored. Therefore, we’re going to give you this new cuckoo clock!

This cuckoo clock from Schneider will go great in any room in your home.  Features a wooden dial, hands, and cuckoo, and the child figurines on the clock swing as the music plays on the hour.

So, you’ve got grandfather clocks, a wall clock, and a cuckoo clock. All that’s left is another grandfather clock!

The Mauritius triple chime grandfather clock from Hermle will look good in a room in your home where you do not currently have a clock. I think we’re starting to run out of rooms. How many clocks do we still have back there? Anyways, this clock comes with a solid wood pinch-waist case with a cherry finish with a removable hood and easy movements.

Now that we’ve run out of rooms to put clocks in, there’s only one place missing- the garage.  However, we don’t have any clocks for a garage, so I guess you’ll have to make do with the clock in this…brand new car! *FF '94* *Kate*

The 2010 Chevy Aveo5 LS! Comes with standard features, the Chevy Aveo!

And this showcase, containing every clock in the house, can be yours if, the price is right!

*audience boos*

Now, just hold on one minute! Why are you all booing that showcase? I think that's a mighty fine showcase, myself! I mean, look at all those clocks! Anyone would kill to have that many clocks in their home!

Anywho, pathy, bid on them, please.

[FrenchFan]

I definitely want that showcase. ^^

Notes:
-New one-bid and Showcase podiums, along with a new turntable set, to match those on the actual show, though we didn't like how the monitors looked on the Showcase podiums, so we gutted the electronics out of the old ones and retrofitted the new ones with them.
-4 for 6 today, though none of the pricing game winners made it past the Showcase Showdown...Roger, when was the last time that happened?
-After five live shows and the previous two shows here, Kitch is the first person to legitimately win an all-trip multiprizer. The only other time one was won was on live show number 7 when I accidentally confused Shopping Spree with Credit Card and set the spending minimum above the sum of the prices of the three prizes, resulting in a technical win. Congrats, Kitch, for stopping me there.
-On that note, I'm still trying to figure out how Fortune Hunter was actually won...
-I was actually expecting a much larger garf on the clock showcase...I was half expecting a bid somewhere in the low-20K range...
-Episode Four to come eventually...maybe. Depends on whether or not I find a job.

Leave your comments! Kitch, if you could recap this that'd be just great. Excel sheets and/or show logs available upon request- shoot me a PM for them.  Great job, everybody- it was great fun!

[FrenchFan]

You should fire the person who is responsible of electronics of the props. ^^

Too bad I didn't get called. Good game though

I'll stay tuned for another of your shows.
