Alas, no one wanted you.
At least, that's the way it seemed. You see, in the Showcase on "Price is Right" today, a trip to Cleveland was up to be won. Cleveland native Drew Carey said it was his all-time favorite showcase prize.
The contestant was bidding on a trip to Cleveland to watch a first-round Cavs playoff game in luxury seats (plus home-theater recliners, Cavs Fathead accessories and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle). In his trip to Cleveland, he was provided with roundtrip airfare, two nights at the Cleveland Renaissance hotel and a $200 gift card to the Cavs team shop. Oh, and ground transportation, so congratulations, they'll give you an RTA fare pass.
Anyway, the guy looked really excited. He must love Delonte.
But then he bid $75,000.
$75,000.
That's more than pretty much any prize I've ever seen on the show. More than trips that would visit every continent in the world. And all he wanted to do was come to Cleveland. (Total price, including the motorcycle: $21,000.)
He must have been trying to throw the showcase. There is no way he could have been serious. Absolutely no way.
But if he was serious...if the bidder honestly thought the prize was worth $75,000...I'll give him a deal. I will let him come stay at my apartment for $74,000 if he really thinks Cleveland is that great.
I'm sorry they couldn't give you away, Cleveland. Better luck in your next venture.

Who doesn't want to flee to the Cleve?
ReplyDeleteThat cracks me up. $75,000. I appreciate his enthusiasm.
