Title: CSS Results for January 31
Post by: BuddyTom on January 31, 2008, 04:31:54 PM
I'm really not sure what exactly happened today. Obviously a couple of people had the wrong price range in mind for the Pontiac G6, since there were a couple of rather egregious overbids there, and then there was showcase two... two snowmobiles alone should have been almost $16K plus the whole home gym package... I put that at $6Kish which was obviously too much. :-|

It was easy to see who got money today. One DSW per showcase, brought to you by the letter S for sideshowPA and Scott5114!

[EDIT: Footix and GoldenBulldog have been added to the spreadsheet]

My first-ever :dsw: and only the second time to score some cash!  :D

I wasn't entirely sure about the price of the Pontiac, but went with $18,000. That may have been low and I overpriced Acapulco, though. Sorry to all of you who overbid today. A lot of the overbids were WSD's or close to it.

Well, BuddyTom forgot to put me on the spreadsheet, but it really didn't matter since I got my 4th :wsd: of the season.  :-(

I guess he wanted to save me from the misery of another OVER....  :-D

SideshowPA = $195 difference on snowmobiles.
PriceFanArmadillo = $59 difference on snowmobiles.

Sorry, I don't see it.

Oh, and I know I don't go for the hyperbole, but I just can't help it...

:headbang:

Way to take the fullest advantage of my annual DSW.

Bully, I need admission into Overbidders Anonymous.  January has been a total disaster for me.  It's been nothing but WSD, WSD, WSD, and Willy.  And I sense that it's only gonna get worse cuz tomorrow is the first day of February.  We all know what happened throughout last February.

Oh yeah, February 2007 was the worst month of CSS that all of us in here had to deal with.  We had seven--count 'em, SEVEN--CSS Big OnesTM; not very many good CSS playings happened all month long.  :-(

Sounds like December '07... :D

Okay, so December wasn't quite THAT bad, we only had three "Big Ones" (as Bully would say) and one blitz. but we also had six days where most everyone garfed and a couple more that were 50/50.  I had a blown DSW that month, just a day after I had gotten a DSW previously.  Since I wasn't here back in February, December was, by far, MY worst CSS month.  Roger wasn't very nice to us during Christmas Week...

the first few weeks of January '08 were MY worst CSS time. even though i did make my first Money win, DSW, and top finish, i also made multiple overbids, i think a WSD, and multiple garfs.

this is what i personally call the "DSW Curse." you know, garfing or going over the day after you make a DSW?

EXAMPLE: i made a near QSW on Monday. the very next day, i get a double garf combo, with one being a difference of over $16K.

Also, wasn't it during that month that you and FieldsFan created "Team GRRR?"

Wahoo! I'm glad I went a little lower in price with the snowmobiles.

Congrats to the two 'S's on their DSW wins!  :-D

Indeed it was!  :-D

So far, my best week was the week Bully's show aired in April, two bookend wins and a near-QSW in a week Pathy and I dominated

That's right:  Team GRRR turns one year old next month.  It formed after Fieldsy became a victim of the reverse-blitz, and it took off like a rocket.  Our future Play-Along show is hereby dubbed:  Team GRRR's TPIR:  1st Anniversary Special.   :-D
