========================================================================================
IUFB #2: Klipsch Epic Series stereo speakers and Yamaha receiver
Charles: $750
Kristi: $699 (okay, I guess, but odd with $750 already bid)
June: $559
Ruth: $800 (leaving Charles a bit of space)
ARP: $1,499
Ruth is up on stage to play Lucky $even for a GMC Jimmy SLS 2WD (standard features, power windows with door locks, 50-state emission, option package 1SG)!
Bob hands Ruth the seven $1 bills and shows her that the first digit in the price is 2.
Ruth thinks the second digit is 3, and she is exactly right! She keeps all $7 in her hand.
The third digit she says is 6, and we reveal a 5. She loses one dollar, but still has $6.
Fourth in line Ruth hopes is 7, but it's another 5. That takes away two dollars, leaving her $4.
The last number she wants to be a 7, and with a win on 4-9, we see... 8! That $23,558 Jimmy is hers with $2 to spare!
WIN (Total Winnings: $23,560 - car plus $2 remaining cash)
========================================================================================

June is next up to the stage, and she'll make a trip to Barker's Bargain Bar where we have a bar set (Mikhail Derafeev, bar and two stools) and a brass telescope (Cape Cod telescope with oak stand) on offer.
She thinks the bar set is a bigger bargain than the telescope, and if she's right, both prizes will be hers...

IUFB #4: Bush Executive Desk (cherry finish), with four greyhounds from Operation Greyhound as guests
Frances: $1,500
James: $1,525 (not as nice as a $50 cushion, but better than a 1-up)
Charles: $1,550 (it's contagious, I see)
Kristi: $1,551 (now what did I just say about 1-ups?)
BUZZBUZZBUZZBUZZ! All have overbid and must go lower than $1,500.

ARP: $850
Frances picks up the $100 bill from Bob on her way to play Double Prices for a trip to China (RT coach, 6N stay at Hotel Equatorial in Shanghai).
(Somebody must've brought out the wrong podium or something, because it doesn't have the Double Prices logo, but it's Double Prices all the same.)
Frances chooses $4,452 to be the price of the trip, discarding the other choice, $3,591.

ARP: $529
Charles is coming on up to play Grocery Game for a beautiful new dining room (Broyhill Candlewood group, table, 6 chairs, dish cabinet, and Denby's Harlequin dinnerware) valued at $4,380!
The grocery items on the counter today are Bruce's yams, Lever 2000 soap (hand pump), Jonel's Save-A-Nail, Eggland's Best eggs, and a can of Pillsbury crescent rolls.
Charles takes two of the eggs... each is $2.99 so he starts off with $5.98 on the register.
Next he wants four yams... at $1.59 per can, that's $6.36 for those and $12.34 so far.
Three of the soap are next... $1.73 times three is $5.19 and that brings him up to $17.53 in all.
He calls for two rolls... they're $1.99 each, $3.98 together, and his total is $21.51 - he's gone over!
(The price of the Save-A-Nail went unrevealed.)
