Price in Primetime Game #31This is the only episode without the words "The Price is Right" in the title.
Showcase #1: Barker's MilestonesKnow what, let's do the price of the Lincoln Navigator first: $55,520. This leaves $68,971 to spend on the following prizes in this showcase:
17 Gold Bars - It's unbelievable that old Jacob would come up with such price: US$12,427, which converts to AU$14,854 if you're using Australian dollars on this trip to Melbourne, which is worth US$12,549 (AU$15,000), both prices on the day of taping.
This is a historic moment: Not since November 16, 1994 has a trip appeared in the same showcase as a gold bar. There were six in that particular episode, along with a trip to Hawaii. Another such occasion was in 1978, when a lady named Linda was bidding on a showcase that consists of a gold bar and two trips. She missed her showcase only $5. In such situation, I will treat them the same way as I do with double trip showcases.
Eliminator 210 Eagle Vista (upgraded from XP) - It looks like Eliminator boats only appear in showcases with trips and it is also a primetime-only prize. I have also checked cophers.com, and the price is "Request a quote", which is not a dollar value, so I then checked boattraderonline.com, and there are none. If there were one listed on the latter weblink, the price would very likely be "call for price", which is also not a dollar value. So I'm guessing $43,995 here.
Showcase #2 - How Life Has Changed Since 1956World Poker Tour Pinball Machine - $4,595, and the following prizes are back-to-back-to-back-to-back world premieres on price:
Murrey Amidor Pool Table - $3,700
Madden NFL Arcade Game - $5,995
Sharp Aquus 52" TV - $4,099
2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, and the last Corvette Convertible in daytime was a 2006 model. - $62,564
And so the GA Systems Soda Fountain has unfortunately been left out even though soda fountains were being used in malt shops back then.
The Primetime Modeling Report Card for May 17, 2007For this special, here's the scale (inflated 50% from daytime):
Shane - $120,000 and up

Here's the same screenshot of Nicole, except this is
without the microphone. It looks like she lost her podium.
This is what Nicole would look like wearing a Dina Bar-el gown:
