DING!
DING!
DING DING!

JhayPrice, your bid came in under 9001's top bid of $777, so you're automatically frozen.



Do I hear $797? Do I hear more?

Live for the present.  Embrace the future.  Our favorite game show is still producing excellent, high quality, exciting, hour-long* shows every weekday throughout its traditional season window.  It’s as good as it’s been in a long, long time.  If the 1980s were the ‘good ole days’ for the Barker era, so is RIGHT NOW for the Carey era.  Don’t worry about what the future holds.  It will play out in due time.  Enjoy what we have right in front of us in the meantime!

*DING!*
*DING!*
*BU--DING!*

Rockyboy, normally the rule says that once a valid bid is made, it is binding, but $777 is not a valid bid because it would run afoul of the $20 cushion JhayPrice has claimed (and besides that, 9001 has already claimed it), so luck is on your side in this case.



We can accept the $888 bid, which is now the top bid. Lot of bidders active, the majority of which are unfrozen. How high will the bidding climb?

I should take a second to clarify why GameShowFan's bid is able to exist.

JhayPrice's $20 cushion is only valid against future bids from $775-$794.

Because GameShowFan9001's bid already existed prior to JhayPrice freezing at $775, GameShowFan9001's $777 bid still stands. GameShowFan9001 has the liberty to either raise it or freeze it if they choose.

Protip: Don't be afraid to double-check the top bid! if you ever click "post" and a warning in a red box comes up saying "somebody else posted a message, you may wish to review your post", I strongly, STRONGLY recommend you double check and see what was written. It may mean the top bid is not what you thought it was, which may freeze/invalidate your bid. Timing plays a big part in this game!
