I hadn't really thought about this before, but the reality of death means that every day there are less people in the world than the day before.  In reality there are many more people in the world than this but for illustration: If one day there are 1000 people in the world and the next day 55 people die, now there are 945 people in the world. if 30 more die the next day now there are 915 people in the world. So we'll eventually become extinct as will all creatures as the same reality applies to dogs, cats, horses etc.

I've hosted. I've played a pricing game.

I'm allowed to keep going? I mean, if nobody is stopping me... :P

$1,200

Also, [img width=x height=x]http://insert image link here[/img], where x equals the number of pixels for the width and height you desire, is how you resize images. You're welcome. :)
Pardon my language, but I do believe we all need to calm the f*** down.

Can't edit the OP (although I request that a mod please resize it to 500x441), thanks for the url though. I will use that url when we get to the pricing game.

No problem! I would have done it myself, but my powers don't extend here. IIRC, it was either Jess or CU who taught me how to do it, so I can't take all the credit. :)

2K: Time is up, and everybody's bids are in. And the actual retail price of that camera is....$1,550!

REDHEADVICKI, come on up! *REDHEADVICKI heads with 2K to the Race Game Curtain*

Welcome, REDHEADVICKI! I'd bet that you would be absolutely delighted to see the fabulous prizes that we have behind that curtain. George, can you tell us what's behind the curtain?

George: Fabulous prizes indeed! We've got a new refrigerator, a 4K HDTV, and a laptop!


From Samsung, this 27.8 ft³ black stainless steel French door refrigerator comes with a FlexZone drawer with 4 temperature settings, an exterior digital control panel, 5 spill-proof tempered glass shelves, and LED lighting.


Next up, also from Samsung, this 75" smart LED 4K ultra HD TV comes with 2160p resolution, built-in Wi-Fi, and a quadcore processor. A stand and one remote is included.


And third, this Alienware R3 laptop comes with a 17.3" display, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive, and a 256GB solid state drive. An 8-cell lithium ion battery and an AC adapter is included.


But finally...we've got something else waiting behind that door that we'd love for you to win. Unfortunately, it's not a car - it's a brand new SUV!
*cheering and applause*
This 2017 Ford Explorer comes with a 3.5 liter engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, front wheel drive, all-weather floor mats, and rear bumper protector!


Back to you, 2K!

2K: REDHEADVICKI, this is a very simple pricing game. It's called More or Less. Those prices that are shown are not the prices of each item - you have to tell me whether the actual retail price of each item is more or less than the given price. It's a progressive game, and you instantly win any item that you answer correctly for. So even if you provide a wrong answer, the game ends, but you'll still get to keep all of the prizes that you've won up to that point.

So let's begin with the refrigerator - is the actual retail price of the refrigerator more or less than $4,500?
I hadn't really thought about this before, but the reality of death means that every day there are less people in the world than the day before.  In reality there are many more people in the world than this but for illustration: If one day there are 1000 people in the world and the next day 55 people die, now there are 945 people in the world. if 30 more die the next day now there are 915 people in the world. So we'll eventually become extinct as will all creatures as the same reality applies to dogs, cats, horses etc.
