to PayingTheRent Hey, I mean, we could have just found where you live, taken your ride, and updated it, Xzibit 'Pimp My Ride' style. Feel free to double check after the show and if you have proof, we'll give it to you free of charge.
The audience laughs, and I suddenly notice a sign in the audience.PETA: People Eati-
I cover my mouth and try to control my laughter.Oh... oh, man. That's a good one! Can't believe I didn't notice that earlier, but man... that's great. That's just great.
I take a deep breath to recover.In any case, all of the bids and tpir04's written bid are done, so let's lock them all in.
JayC PayingTheRent tpir04 123123123$720 $850 $851 $555...Boy, oh, boy; PayingTheRent, you've had it rough in Contestant's Row. You've been one-upped twice, and the first time, the one who one-upped you got on stage! Do we offer financial compensation for Smeghead gambits like this? ...No? That's a shame.
And you know what the crazy part of all of this is?
I take the pricing card out of the folder....It worked. The sewing machine is
$1,247! tpir04, time to play the next pricing game!
The bell dings as tpir04 makes his way on stage and runs up to the next flight of carpeted, relatively flat stairs before jumping up next to me!Welcome to the show! Someone's excited!
I extend my hand, only for tpir04 to shake it while jumping up and down, causing me to lightly chuckle.Y'know, I think that seems like the behavior of someone who signed up for this show thrice. Call me crazy.
But in any case, let's see what's behind the turntable... ooooh, it looks like a set piece! I can almost see it! It's...
It's the
Bonus Game! Not only is this a classic, but it's very winnable as well! You're a lucky man, for certain.
So, here are the rules. You see this gorgeous, classic set piece? There are four asterisks, and behind each asterisk, there is an item with a corresponding price below it. That price is wrong, so I'm going to ask you if the correct price of that prize is higher or lower than the price that goes along with it. Guess correctly, and you'll win that prize and that panel.
And guess what? Under one of the four panels is a bonus. Y'know, like the bonuses some executives get for corrupt business tactics. But I'm sure that's not relevant... nah, I kid, I kid.
In any case, George: show tpir04 what that bonus is!
The big doors open to reveal...George:
It's a new laundry room!Manuela walks up to the back to back washer and dryer before George continues...First, from Speed Queen, this 27" Commercial Front Loaded Washer comes complete with a 4-compartment dispenser, Quantum touch screen controls, 1,200 RPM, 4 cycles, balancing technology, high capacity meter case, stainless steel tub, and 3.42 cubic feet of capacity!And, to match it; also from Speed Queen, it's a dryer!

It's a bonus worth $10,991!The audience applauds!Wow, that's a nice bonus! You won't have to go to a laundromat ever again! ...Maybe.
In any case, let's reveal the first prize...
* TYPEWRITER $115***A... typewriter? OK, I guess. George, tell us about the typewriter.
Devin pushes a podium with...This 14 pound Royal Scriptor II 13 Portable Electronic Typewriter features an LCD display, spell check system and memory storage capacity, impression control, and relocation features!I didn't even know they still made typewriters! Guess there's still an audience for 'em.
So, tpir04, the typewriter is
not $115. So, my question for you is: is the correct price
higher or
lower?
