I'll contribute an equal share as well. I'll also suggest that the room note Matt's language. The total cost is split evenly, and he'll certainly accept more than 10 offers if they come.

Correct.  This isn't the first ten people to pledge $20.  We'll take as many of you as possible, and the more we have, the lower the total cost will be.  You are pledging a willingness to go as high as $20.

Don't be a schmuck and wait on the sidelines in the hopes that someone will upload it to YouTube, or that you'll get it in a trade. If ever there was a time to be part of a community of game show fans, it's now.  I've had two people contact me directly, so this IS going to happen.  Be a part of it.

I'm in.  I'll pay you $20 in person next month, so everybody else involved just needs to split $180.

That's a stout point--I didn't think of it.

(Specifically that those of us who are going to see MattO in person don't need to use Paypal and let them cut into our total. I'll be curious to see what the shares end up being because there's so many interested folks.)

I'll get the ball rolling by saying I'm looking for at least ten people willing to pledge no more than twenty dollars to the project.  I will take responsibility for bidding on the item and, if we win it, arranging for it to be transferred.  The transfer is why the cost will probably approach $200 when all is said and done.  In the end, the actual cost will be shared equally among all participants, meaning your share will almost certainly be less than $20, and possibly much less.  Everyone who participates gets a digital copy when we're done.

So who's interested?

At this point, I'm curious to know if even Fremantle/Buzzr has anything on this.

Regardless, count me in. My birthday's coming up in about six weeks, and "Goodson-Todman game show that nobody's heard of" sounds like a nice gift to myself. :)

Don't be a schmuck and wait on the sidelines in the hopes that someone will upload it to YouTube,
Serious question: Would this be okay to upload to YouTube once all is said and done? Your wording seems to suggest a "no", but I'm not 100% sure.

I wouldn't read too much into this. I don't think Matt is talking about the issue of copyright; it's more of a sitting on your hands because it'll likely end up online anyway.

It's just the forum coming together is all. :)
