CSS Results for December 26

[BuddyTom]

I think that this image pretty much sums up today's CSS:

With the exception of the two cash-winners (Wayoshi and pinball777), every single bid was a garf. Thank goodness for double values Friday or the points scores would really be in the can. Placement more or less depended on how cheap you thought that Saturn Sky was. I noted that it was the Red Line model, which is not the base, but rather the more expensive ($33K without options) model, but I didn't bank on the go-kart being priced like a GEM car nor the Vegas racing trip being like Monte Carlo. For Wayoshi to have submitted what I thought was a terribly Willy of a bid was a smart move; he's the only person without a really stinky score!

That massage chair/pod must have been megabucks too. Dining room we know roughly, Beachcomber hot tubs, nothing new. But while I'm guessing many people had a clue about the chair being pricey, few were willing to risk it on the last CSS of 2008. United we garf?

For the last time, the power of -08 helps me to my 3rd career vicccccccctory! Here's to hoping that the power of -09 gets me at least 9 wins.

EDIT: Lol Tom at "a certain Willy". You doubted I would win when I got my DSW in March... XD. Anyways, especially with Wednesday still in my mind, I remembered the Sky is at least 30k and the convertible would bump that up, driving school probably made Las Vegas at least 5k, and a go-kart on the show was at least 6k. So when I saw it was loaded I figured 35k car, added the rest and went for it...and...

It looks like that massage pod or w/e is at least 6k.

Let's file today's CSS under L - for Legitimate Garfing.  Some of those prizes were new ones, so there you go

As for me, let's just say...

[BRB_TheFireball]

$38,107 / $19,007

The rain kicked me offline during SCSD #2 and I couldn't get back online before the final commercial, so I was unable to submit these garfs.

For the second time this week, we got caught with two sexed-up showcases.

Some points of note:

- They sure now know how to make in-studio and CSS really really hard, now don't they?
- When we get to more eps after The Exacta, I fully expect days like this.  I also fully expect some days of complete fail because they got a trip to Paris for like $1,500.
- Wayoshi and I share something in common this week...cashing a SC where everyone epically garfs.
- It was a bedroom, not a dining room.  I would have preferred the dining room...I can price them much better. 

EDIT:  I know I'm stealing some of our resident statgrabber's thunder, but I found the chair.  SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Apparently, just being able to drive a Vette on a closed track must cost a bundle.



Don't you believe it!!!!!

My bids: FAIL.

Well, got a top 10 out of it at least, I beat more people than were ahead of me. Did a nice job of not going over again.

Looking forward to January. I should be playing during the first half of the month.

Hey, I may have garfed...but atleast I got top-5 to end the year! 

[heelsrule1988]

$44,400/$20,500... when's the last time I thoroughly pounded Armadillo? I was confident I'd get the win today, but I didn't know I'd get it by this much. Aren't you supposed to be the master of cars, sir?

Not just that, but I would have gotten the win over everyone today, not to mention money on the furniture. If only I had a TV in here... you guys would have been given a whooping.

[PriceFanArmadillo]

Trust me, it would have helped if I could actually, you know, see the blasted chair.  Had I seen what a monstrosity that was, I probably would have added 4-5 grand to my bid.  Of course, you still beat me because I apparently failed to realize that the 'driving school' trip actually includes the whole #&%*ing school or something.  I know how much a Sky costs, thankyouverymuch.  (I take a good look at the Skies in my local Saturn dealer every time I take my ION in for an oil change, so I'd better not screw that one up. )

[Umandsf]

Hmm, maybe I picked a good day to miss it. Then again, I'm sad I wasn't in for the fun...and the points.

[Punchboard91]

I had the driving lessons and the chair at about $3,000 together.....that didn't help out my situation.

And yes, I did bid in the $30,000s....not the $10,000s like I said in chat. 

[visualbasicwizard]

Hot diggity dog tags!  I took third!  That's 3 top tens (two of them top 5's) in three days.  I'm finally starting to figure this thing out.    I was considering shaving my bid on the 'Vette, but I decided against it just before sending. 

[Todd]

And yes, I did bid in the $30,000s....not the $10,000s like I said in chat. 

Dang you.

[someguy95]

I thought I bid, too.  Where am I on the list?
