Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video.

This week's viewer gadget warehouse video arrived via this email: 

Hi Dick & Chad,

 

This is my video about the quizzard, a gameshow based board game by random house.

My mom had this when she was a kid and gave it to me when I was about three years old. I used it so often and roughly that I destroyed it. My mom made me throw it away because it didn`t even work. When I was 12 I found it on amazon for $150.00 but I wouldn`t pay that much for it. I continued to look for it every month or so, till 3 years later I found it on

Ebay for $11.00 & $8.00 shipping. I bought it and it arrived two days earlier than it was scheduled to arrive. Now that we have it we use it a lot. We play the game a lot, but we also use it to learn our spelling words or really anything else. We are home schooled so it really comes in handy.

 

Hope you like my video. Roger Wooten

 

PS Do we hold a GIZ WIZ record for the oldest gadget warehouse item? Its the 113 year old player piano from episode 1576

***********************

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos!

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories: 

I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.-

I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.-

My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.-

My Favorite Gadget of All Time: Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.-

Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video! IMPORTANT: We'll just shower you with praise for your video if you live outside the US or Canada since we can't afford to send stuff outside of those two places. (Thanks for understanding.) 

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv
