CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge - Prize Poll

[Answers to Friday's Bonus Bucks trivia questions are over here, if that's what you're looking for.]

So assume for a moment that you manage to best your hundreds of thousands of rivals and walk away with one of the 10 non-cash prizes that the Portfolio Challenge awards to the trader with the biggest gain each week.  Would you accept it?

Based on the approximate retail value of the various prize packages (and assuming a 30% tax rate), you could get hit with a bill of nearly $10,000.

Swallow your graciousness for a moment and share your honest, anonymous intentions with your fellow traders.  Which prizes are sufficiently enticing that you'd buy them for 70% off?  (They're described in more detail on the contest site.)

Select as many as apply.

I left a "None of the above" response off the list, so as to mitigate the hurt feelings you're bound to inflict on the contest sponsors.  So just weigh in in the comments if you'd turn your nose up at all the non-cash prizes.

They're all things I would enjoy enough to pay the taxes on - except the "Weekend in a Bentley" - that one I'd have to pass on.
