Summary Going, Going, Gone. was an unsold pilot that was part "Let's Make a Deal", part four-card monte, and part auction. Three players are each given $300 and are shown four cups: three contain discs representing prizes, displayed on-set, while the fourth is empty (represented on the set by an empty prize display). Bid master, Richard Lewellen, places each of the prize discs into the cups, then shuffles them. After he finishes shuffling, the players bid auction-style on their choice of cup, with a minimum of $10 and subsequent bids in $10 increments. The player with the highest bid gets to choose a cup, and this continues until three of the cups have been purchased. Four rounds are played, with Round 4 changing things: now, each player gets their remaining bank balance in cash, which can be used in the same manner as before to buy from four boxes (bidding starts at $5, with subsequent bids in $5 increments). Two boxes contain certificates for prizes (in this case, a mink stole and a TV set), the third contains a lemon, and the fourth is empty, but the contents of the boxes are not shown until after they are bought. After three boxes are sold, the fourth is held by Richard for a home viewer. Any cash the players have left after Round 4 is theirs to keep. View more details
