PatrickRox80's The Price is Right: Seasons (1976)

[PatrickRox80]

$555 for tpir04.



*ding*

gamesurf says $875.



*ding*

And that will bring it to me to tell the actual retail price. Those end tables are $1,286.



gamesurf, you have won!

*bell sequence*

gamesurf is going to play our fifth pricing game. Wait on up here, and we'll set it up. To do so, I want you to listen to George tell you about this!

George: A new car!



A brand new Subaru Forester Sport! It's the SUV for all you love with the latest to accommodate your driving. It comes with standard equipment including a 2.5-Liter four-cylinder engine, symmetrical all-wheel drive, STARLINK multimedia system, keyless entry with push-button ignition and 18-inch black finish alloy wheels, the Subaru Forester!

And you're going to take a little Vegas route to getting that car. You'll be playing the Card Game.



First, I want you to draw from this special deck. It will determine how close you must come to the actual retail price of that Forester without going over.

(There are seven cards in the deck: please pick a number from 1-7, gamesurf)

[gamesurf]

Woohoo! Somehow I managed to block the old wood-paneled Card Game set from my memory, I hope the deck has 2020 values and not 1976 ones

*reaches to the far end of the deck and picks card #7*

[PatrickRox80]

Your range is...



$2,000. You must come within $2,000 of the actual retail price of that car without going over. We'll speed things up by giving you a base bid of $15,000.



*ding*

And you'll add to your bid with these fifty-two playing cards. Deuces through nines we'll multiply by $100 before adding to your bid. Tens and face cards add $1,000. If you draw an Ace, it's wild. You must specify if you want an amount added to your bid or if you want to make your bid a certain amount should one turn up. I'll spread these across the table and ask you to pick your first card.

(To draw a card, please pick a number from 1-52.)

[gamesurf]

Any suggestions from the audience?

Not sure on the price, so I’ll keep drawing until I get either an ace or whatever card puts me over $20,000, and then decide at that point. Still not sure where I want to stop, so some guidance from the audience would be nice!


Drawing the following cards:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47

[LiteBulb88]

*from the audience* I'd probably stop at the first card that put me over $22,000, for a range of $22,x00-$24,x00. But that's based on my intuition, not research I've ever done on Subarus.

BTW, I hope those card picks put you in prime position to win this game!

[PatrickRox80]

Here's what I'll do. I'll post all the cards you picked in order and I'll stop to confer once you reach $20,000 or if you draw an Ace.

Your first pick:



A deuce.



*ding*

Your second is...



A four.



*ding*

Card number three is...



Another deuce.



*ding*

Three cards, and you've only added $800. Something has to give. You next picked this card:



A King! There we go!



*ding*

Next card...



You've drawn an eight.



*ding*

More than halfway to your stopping point. Let's see what you pick next...



There's a three. Let's add another $300.



*ding*

Next card...



Aha! There's an Ace! What do you want that Ace to be or how much do you want to make your bid with that Ace?

[123123123]

*from crowd*

I'd go for around $23,500-$25,500

[gamesurf]

BTW, I hope those card picks put you in prime position to win this game!

Haha thanks!

$22,750 is my instinct, but that is not a prime number... however, $22,751 is!

Let’s make the bid $22,751 and STOP!

[PatrickRox80]

All right, let's put that on the tote board.



*ding*

And you're also stopping here. I had to look up whether that number is prime or composite. Learn something new. The actual retail price of that Subaru: $30,230. That's a difference of...



*buzzer, losing horns*

$7,479, and you don't win. Sorry, gamesurf. We'll see you in a bit, though.

For now, we're going to take a break before our last pricing game. Join us then!

[PatrickRox80]

It's time to call one more player, George. Who will it be?

George: The name is JayC! Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!

Me: Right behind that blue podium. JayC, this is your one shot. You and the other three have this item for your consideration.

George: A vanity set!



George: From the Fairfax Home Collection, this Tiffany solid wood vanity set has textured drawer fronts will add a touch of modern-day luxury to any bedroom while allowing you can look like yourself. It also comes with a stool and removable mirror, each painted with a pearly silver finish and carved accents.



JayC, I await your bid.

[tpir04]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't JayC be in the orange spot? And get wpghi back here! 

[PatrickRox80]

Here's the right order:



I thought I uploaded the correction, but apparently I didn't. JayC bids first.

[JayC]

$1,800 please Patrick.

[wpghi5]

$2000.

[PatrickRox80]

$1,800 for JayC.



*ding*

Followed by a bid of $2,000 for wpghi5.



*ding*

Plinkoman, this is your sixth and final chance. Make this bid count.
