CSS Results for October 29
« on: October 29, 2008, 02:16:39 PM »
The top of the spreadsheet looks very familiar. In fact, it matches last Wednesday almost perfectly. A win for the host with a showcase's worth of cash, a second place finish for Ludwig, and a third place with cash for Kev347. Only major difference is that last week I got the trailer. ::shrug::

Soooo... let's talk about the prizes a bit. Showcase one was the dreaded All-Trip showcase, and very garfable if you forgot that Dodgers Camp is expensive. Not as much as the African Photo Safari, but still around $11,000, plus two fairly expensive trips on top of that (NYC and Japan aren't usually cheap). I usually go waaay low on these, but I guess I've actually gotten these three down... for now.

Trailer. We've seen Trail Manors before, they're usually about $1K/foot and indeed this one is a 26' that prices at $25,745. I think the snag was that cruise, which some people probably pegged at the price of the Mediterranean cruise (big bucks) but was definitely a lot less. I put it at about $4,000 and I'm glad that I didn't go any higher. Add about another grand for the tandem bike, and there you go. Kev misses the DSW by a mere $9 (ow!) but still a very worthy performance.

I CAN'T believe that I added $1000 to my original bid--which was gonna be $30,745--for Showcase #2!! 

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your love, affection and loyalty to me, drew, the models and.... The Price is Right....thank you for being such a "Loyal Friend & True". -Rich Fields (in an e-mail sent to me on 3/17/2010)

I had to get some work done, so I couldn't be on chat, but I did catch the showcases.

I would've probably went over on SC2.  :lol:

$24,000/$27,407.

How come my best bids always come when I can't make it to CSS?  After two straight garfy days, I finally get a respectable score (it would have been third place) and it doesn't even count.

If all of the days I've missed CSS actually counted, I'd have over $100K in cash right now and a much higher points average.

With my computer out of commission for about a week, I only just saw this. Did I seriously make teh top 5? Sweet! Unfortunately, no more CSS for me until I get my computer working...except for Mondays.
