CSS Results for November 7

[BuddyTom]

One word best sums up today's CSS: BLECH.

Okay, not for everyone, as there were some excellent bids, and RobertSearcy wins with a DSW. But what the heck was in the Trailer showcase? (or wasn't, as the case may be). That trailer has been priced around $19,600 before, so was that the world's cheapest freezer? Sometimes those go well past $1000.

The Department Store showcase was yet more random prizes... hot tub, snowmobile, and yet there were very few overbids on it. Better luck tomorrow. If you survived today, well, there's only one thing for me to say to you:



CHATROOM SHOWCASE SHOWOFF
Results for November 7, 2006 -- Game 36

eeesh.. cgts to robert and john and the above the red marks folks.. 2 dreadful showings  in 3 days is NOT a way for me to try to keep the 2nd place slot competitive!!.. Oh well..  better luck for me, and most of us tomorrow I reckon.. and cgts again to today's  winners and survivors !!

Ouch...$17 away from winning cash for my second game in a row.  I knew my 'easily bested by a rounder' bid would bite me, and sure enough...oh well.  But hey, I'll take another win over Heels any day of the week.

Wow. I love this game. I went from having a big enough difference to practically bid on another showcase ($18,522) yesterday, to having the lowest combined difference today. I'm pretty happy about that.

Still, bidding $24,000 on a showcase with a Mustang convertable was the dumbest thing I have done in a while. Oof. But I've made up for it a little today.

Of course... I DSW on Monday, but when Armadillo comes in the next day, I choke. I still lead 8-7, though.

[RobertSearcy]

YAHOO!  2nd win in just a few days.  

BTW, those bids of mine were "semi-blind"......I took one look at each prize, come up with a total in less than a 1/2 second, and whisper it to Tom.  I won't go into detail why I did semi-blind bids on my SCs, though.  But.....wow....didn't think it would work out as well as it did.  I was actually expecting a Garf of the Century or Willy of the Century.  

Edit:  Oh yeah, I forgot something.......

I thought that freezer was always $500.....

The spa was probably my only obstruction between me and another super-awesome score.  I gave it 4995, when it's probably 6995.

Well then shame on me... ::sigh... thinks...:: Besides, I was distracted today. How's that work for an excuse?

(I've got dozens more if that doesn't  work, too).

EDIT:  On second thought, I'm not so sure about what I first posted, so we'll just skip that.

Oh, and Heels...I'm just getting started this year.  I only needed a couple months to warm up.

I was ready to go $20,003 on SC1 when I heard Chief-O call "FRTS!" in chat... but then he said that it was a Fleetwood and my brain said "Don't you dare bid more than $17,000 on a Fleetwood showcase!"

Had I gone with my gut, I would've beaten Searcy by $3.

Wow, great job Robert!  The Monday Garf Queen will see you all in chat tomorrow...and hopefully I can pass the garf crown to someone else
