[cornelius]

Cornelius: All right, he has chosen the trainer. Let's first see the tv. Bargain Price: $1499. ARP: $2199, a difference of: (DING) $700. Now, trainer. Bargain Price: $1599. ARP: $1999, a difference of $400, and you don't win. (cue:

I'm sorry, OneBidTris, but you still have a shot at being in the showcases at the end of the show.

(cue:

Cornelius: We'll try yet again after you see this.

[cornelius]

Cornelius: Ladies and gentlemen, listen up. This could be your name.

Jalin: 88JRFan.  (cue:

Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is right!

Cornelius: There's your spot, 88JRFan. And folks, look up as the next item up for bids comes down.



(cue:

Jalin: It's a new camera. Enjoy professional quality images with the versatile Canon EOS Rebel T3i Black 18MP DSLR Camera. Featuring Canon's latest 18MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 image processing, the Canon Rebel digital camera performs well both in terms of picture quality and speed. Canon's trademark EOS HD movie mode lets you record full high definition video and even provides you with digital zoom and Video Snapshot for enhanced movie shooting options. The revolutionary 9-point AF system together with the 63-zone Dual-layer sensor lets you capture brilliant images both in well-lit and dim-lit conditions. The Canon Rebel HD camera's Vari-angle LCD screen offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to above-the-head shots. To display images in stunning clarity, the 3.0" LCD screen features an anti-reflective coating and is smudge-resistant. This camera can shoot up to 3.7 fps, which means you don't have to miss out on any special moment.

Cornelius: The bidding will begin with you, 88JRFan.

Cyclone

[88JRFAN]

i will bid 1000

[Cyclone]

I will say I am thoroughly annoyed.  I thought we were bidding on one bike for some stupid reason and had it pegged as $350 in my mind.

Ah, well.

Cyclone

[RCPlanes59]

Oh boy, last chance at redemption.

$600

[Cyclone]

Hmm...if the price is a dollar under either 00 or 50 somewhere...

Let's try $749.

[cornelius]

And the actual retail price is: $849! (cue:

Come on over here, Cyclone! Cyclone, you will have a chance to win this.

(cue:

Jalin: It's a new hot tub! Don't stress about finding the very best in home hot tubs - you already have. The Home and Garden Spas 5 Person 106 Jet Hot Tub seats up to 5 people, each enveloped in their own unique massage experience. You'll also find top-level features like a built-in two-speaker/subwoofer sound system with mp3-player jack as well as high-end features like interchangeable therapeutic jets for neck, shoulders, calves, and feet, 9-color LED mood lights, and full energy-saving insulation.


Cornelius: Cyclone, we're playing Pick a Number. We have a price of $7,_52. You tell me what the number is. Is it 6, 7, or 0? Pick the right number, and you win that hot tub. What's your choice?

[Cyclone]

Uh...I don't think you gave AthleticsFan a chance to bid.

And since you did the reveal, it's kinda pointless now to offer that.

Going to wait for a ruling from sideshow on this.  And I was on the right track with my bid, I see.

Cyclone

[cornelius]

Due to AthleticFan not having a chance to bid, we're throwing out the third IUFB. And getting another item up for bids, So Cyclone will head back to contestant's row. I apolojize.

[cornelius]

Cornelius: So Jalin, because of that problem, we need another item up for bids.

Cornelius: The Bidding order is still the same. 88JRFan, what do you bid?

[88JRFAN]

990 please

[RCPlanes59]

$1100

[sideshowPA]

Hmmm...this one is a tricky call.  I'm going to propose something goofy here, but I think it is semi-fair.

1.  Cyclone wins the camera, and will play Pick a Number, eventually.
2.  Let RC, 88 and Athletic bid on the computer.  The winner of that will ALSO play Pick a Number.
3.  Both Cyclone and this other winner will both submit their guess for Pick a NUmber.  Maybe they will both win, maybe they will both lose, maybe one will win and one will lose.
4.  You will have 4 players in your Showcase Showdown.

Now, don't do that again, please.  Thanks

[cornelius]

Thanks. I assure you it won't.
