Gift cards. The best thing anyone can get—or even give.

Money, the other best thing anyone can get/give.  (I bought clothes for all the kids, but 3 had to be returned because those particular children did not come.)

Adjustments that should be made to pricing games to make them fairer: Secret X: Add a 3rd SP so that perfect pricing ensures a win. 1/2 Off: Add a 4th set of SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Master Key: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Rat Race: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win.

The following pricing games should be retired because there's no way or no easy way to make them fair: Spelling Bee, Plinko, Punch a Bunch, Pass the Buck, Let em Roll, 3 Strikes.

The following retired pricing games should be revived: $uper $aver, Give or Keep, Buy or Sell, Hurdles, Bump, Penny Ante, Credit Card, On the Spot, Split Decision, Add em Up, Walk of Fame, Barker's Markers, Magic Number.

If you were trying to post a picture...it didn't work.

Try uploading it to Imgur and try again. :)

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Gift cards. The best thing anyone can get—or even give.


Gift cards.  You trade your money for something much less flexible and often subject to maintenance fees and deductions.   So you buy something.. and in the meantime, the merchant gets to invest your money and make money on it, while giving you none of the returns.   Further... who ever buys something that's exactly the amount of the gift card?  No... you have to spend more than the card value to get the value out of the card.   Talk about the gift that keeps on giving... to the merchants.


Where's the upside again?
