And tpiradam indeed wins that pasta maker! I want you up here, tpiradam. Stand right beside me at the turntable. I have a whole bunch of prizes to show you. What do we have for him?
George: A bar set, an arcade game and a fireplace!
First, entertain guests with sophistication and class with this Anderson Teak five-piece wooden bar set. The durable exterior of the table and each chair makes it formidable against the elements. The chairs fold for easy storage and the table includes storage space for glasses and drinkware.
Next, re-live the golden age of the arcade with this Ms. Pac Man/Galaga arcade cabinet. Race with your friends to beat the high score by eating pellets or shooting down alien aircraft. It operates on coin or free play and includes dip switches so you can adjust the difficulty settings.Me: Now, there is one more prize I want you to pay special attention to. It's going to shape this pricing game, so listen carefully as George describes it.
A fireplace! Those long winter nights just got a bit cozier with this Classic Flame Astoria infrared electric fireplace. It measures 33 inches across and features a classic design with its steel grate, marble surround, realistic logs and detailed molding. It also comes with a remote control and five color options for the flames.
It's a total prize package worth $8,602!Me: All those prizes sound good, don't they, tpiradam? You can win them all depending on what you know on some other prizes I'm prepared to offer you. Let me explain how...
The game for you is Mystery Price. Beneath that question mark is the actual retail price of that fireplace. It is the most recent prize that George described for you. In a moment, I'm going to show you another prize and I'll ask you to make a bid on it. You'll want to come as close as you can without going over. If you do that, not only do win that prize, we put that bid into your bank above the Mystery Price. If you are over, you don't win the prize and no bid gets added to your bank.
We'll do this four times. If, after the fourth prize, your bank matches or is higher than the price of that fireplace, you win that, the arcade game and the bar set. This the first item you get to bid on...
It's a vacuum. The models are wheeling that on stage. Here it comes.
George: The Neato Botvac home robot vacuum cleans room to room with precision and accuracy. It has dual-cleaning modes, recharges automatically and it's Wi-Fi ready.Me: Adam, please make a bid on that vacuum.
