Halloween Special Idea
« on: October 24, 2017, 11:49:10 PM »
How well do you think having a Rolls-Royce (especially the full-size $450k+ Phantom VIII) in Golden Road would work for Halloween?

At first, I thought that referred to this Halloween's taping, but then I caught myself.

If ANY pricing game were to have a Rolls-Royce that expensive, it would be That's TWO Ninth! (Yes, I mean two-ninth), because even Golden Road could be won by dumb luck. However, $450k? That seems a bit too much (no pun intended), considering the most expensive car ever offered so far was only $280k.

Can luxury cars work for Halloween? Sure. We had one a couple years ago as a Jaguar showcase. However, at its core, how the heck is anyone going to be able to price a six-digit car?

To answer your question, for the producers, pretty well once the contestant realizes that the taxes are too much, and they choose to forfeit the prize.

-Nope, I was talking about just a Halloween show in general (perhaps 2018, cause I don't think they're doing it this year; kinda have a feeling they would've already spoiled that it would at least be offered by now if they were actually planning on offering a Rolls).  And pretty much the only reason I picked a Rolls-Royce specifically is because of the names of the models (which if you know about current models you know that they're mostly named after kinds of ghosts and whatnot: Ghost, Wraith, and Phantom).  Also, $450k is what I currently know as the estimate for the price of the '18 Phantom.  Not necessarily set in stone.

-That Ferrari was actually $285k.

-And not very easily, which is exactly what would make a win of that kind of car that much more exciting.
