Marge! Where's my ping pong paddle and top hat?
|
|
Homie, the last time you tried to get gerbils to canoe in the bathtub, we all got lice.
|
|
No, silly. I'm using the ping pong paddles to bid at Gavelby's Auction House. It's B-Y-O-P. The P stands for "Please bring your own paddles."
|
|
Bid? Bid on what?
|
|
I don't know, just as long as I outbid Ned Flanders. Now help me find those paddles. They say "Property of Ned Flanders" on them.

Welcome to Gavelby's. Where every accidental twitch can lose you millions of dollars.
|
|
|
Our first item up for sale is this pair of vintage soundproof headphones. Do I hear twenty dollars? No, I hear nothing at all!
|
|
Lisa, watch your daddy outbid all these other bidders.
|
|
Dad, you do know that if you win you have to pay for it, right?
|
|
|
That's not how auctions work, sweetie. You bid, then you go over the rapids, and then you pay for the photo.
|
|
I'm 85% sure you're describing a flume ride.

Going once! Going twice! Going three times! Going four times! Oh, sorry, I forgot what I was doing.
|
|
|
Sold! To the dapper young man in the front row.
|
|
Thank you, my good man.
|
|
How are you going to pay for that?
|
|
I've got Dad's credit card.
|
|
Hehe, that well-dressed small man's father is going to be awful upset.

|
|
Bart, you should keep those antiques you bought in a locked room devoid of oxygen or light. That's how items appreciate in value.
|
|
But what's the point of owning something if you don't use it?
|
|
I believe I can field this one. The point isn't to use it, it's to lord your ownership over your fellow man. That's the enjoyment.
|
|
|
Ugh, I probably shouldn't have bid on and then eaten Marie Antoinette's cake. But why would I have it if I can't eat it too?
|
| Task: "Make Springfielders Regret Purchases" (x5). The jobs take place at Gavelby's Auction House and take 8 hours.
|
|
Lisa really got me thinking about all the junk I've been holding onto.
|
|
Oh my God, are you dropping me as a friend? Is it because I ask too many questions? Am I doing it again?
|
|
No, I mean we can put some of my junk up for auction. And then use the money to buy cooler, newer junk online.

Today's first item up for auction is a vintage Krusty Olympics video game. Famous for its aggressively pro-USSR stance, it was pulled from shelves after tainted copies spread both Red Scare and Scarlet Fever.
|
|
|
I put that up for auction! I'll miss the dreams about murdering capitalists, but the money will be worth it.
|
|
It must be mine! One hundred dollars!
|
|
|
We have an online bidder. The new bid is one hundred and one dollars.
|
|
Foiled by a computer yet again! This is Chessbot Amateur Setting all over!

I wonder who this mystery online bidder is...
|
|
Whoever it is must be loaded! They bought everything! Vintage, tech, you name it.
|
|
|
Ooh, sounds like a rich nerd...
|
|
Aww, it's never a rich juvenile delinquent.
