And the actual retail price of that stunning artwork is...

*BZZZBZZZBZZBZZZZ*

...or maybe it's not as stunning as you all think.  You've all gone over.  Erase these bids please, go lower than $1850, and thank rob79 for that nice gift.  Jjc92787 is up again.

Oh, and yeah, that cheapo 8-pack of RoseArt dry-erase markers hardly busted the budget.

[rob79]

Ack, why o why didn't I just bid a dollar? Musta been brain freeze.

[JayC]

Hmm... I'll go with $1,700 this time.

JayC, your bid puts me in a tight spot.  A really tight spot, since you stole my bid.  I don't normally think it's a good idea to $1 the first bidder if you're the second bidder, but with the narrow window between $1700 and $1850, it's probably semi-safe for me to do it without too big a chance of being $1ed myself, since Britey and rob will probably want more elbow room to work with, right?  Um, probably right?

In plain English:  $1701 please.

*Ding*

Um, yeah, sure, whatever you say.  I'm just the host, I don't know anything about that.

[LiteBulb88]

Now I'm in the tough spot.  If I bid $1702, that gives rob either a $1703 or a $1 bid, probably leaning toward $1703 given the trend of the bids.  If I bid less, then rob probably wants more wiggle room, so he'll likely $1 up me.  Sigh...I'll bid $1550.

I'm going to bid what I should have bid the first time-$1.

Okay, let's find out...will Rob regret not bidding that dollar sooner?  The actual retail price is....

...$950!!  Rob79 wins!  I guess it's better late than never.  Now join me over here by the doors, where we have a prize just waiting for us.  What is this...er, thing, Rich?

It's a new Pilates machine, Army!  This Stamina Pilates machine will...um...stimulate your workout like no other Pilates machine can!

...okay, it's obvious I have no idea what that is.  So let's just move on for a second and show you what ELSE you can win!

*door 2 opens*

A lovely cabinet, new golf clubs, and a lovely crib!



First, the Casa Molina china cabinet from the Ashley corporation is an affordable way to spruce up your dining room with a lovely, affordable way to display your china.

Next, Feel golf equipment contains drivers, irons, putters, and whatever else you need to have a frustrating day on the golf course as your umpteenth hook careens into the water!

And finally, the Little Miss Liberty Cameo Round Crib will securely hold any loved ones you can stuff in there...we recommend small children.

Okay, there we go.  You're playing my personal favorite game, One For All!  (I can see Frank from here smirking that someone else gets to play it for once.)  Look over there at those prices.  Notice they're each missing a digit?



Now, look back here at this fitness thingy.



The price of it is $830.  Also, each of the digits in the price of it are the missing numbers in the prices of the other prizes!  What I want you to do is take this 8, take this 3, and take this 0 *removing the tags from the stand as I speak* and go over there and correctly fill in the prices of those prizes over there.  Get them right, you'll win all four prizes!  Got it?  Good!  Now get over there and get crackin'!

*plays some sufficiently-obnoxious think music*

[Mallory16]

Yay!  I don't get stuck with the impossible game again !

On another note, you really love slotting this game as the first of the day, don't'cha?

[rob79]

Ooh boy. Crib-$2369. Golf Clubs-$1014. Cabinet-$1827.
I'll go with those, Army.

[PriceFanArmadillo]

I do, I do.  I guess I could be more original with it, but I'm lazy.  Anyway, let's see.  Looks like Rob has $1,827 on the cabinet, $1,024 on the clubs, and $2,369 on the cradle.



Now, the question I ask is...is Rob a winner?

*Bonk!*

Oh!  I'm so sorry!  What were the right prices?





Ah, you had the cabinet and the golf clubs switched.  How many times do I need to sneak the word 'affordable' into the plug for the hint to get across?    We'll be back with the second pricing game right after this!
