2499 | 1900 | 2000 | 2500

Oh, snap.  We're already sniping.  The actual retail price is...$3000!  Madonna is the winner.

She's going to come back here and play a pricing game with me.  Madonna, I want to smother you with prizes.  Look!

A lovely dinette, fun keyboard and comfy lounge chair. *applause*

First, the Chesapeake 5-piece Kitchen Island Dinette is just what you would expect to find in the cottages and homes lining the Cape. The tobacco and ebony finish highlights vintage-look styling such as the graceful canted base, hardware on the center drawers, and turned legs of the stools.  

Next, the Yamaha DGX505 is a piano-focused keyboard with 88 piano-style keys, wooden stand and sustain pedal. Innovative features include notation display, USB for instant computer connectivity and SmartMedia™ for storing songs and styles.

And finally, the Leap WorkLounge responds quickly to your movements to keep your comfort level high, whether you’re reading, computing, contemplating or relaxing. Back support adjusts as you need it. Features full-grain leather on a polished aluminum frame and base.




Madonna, the people running this Clearance Sale are too lazy to do this themselves, so I'm enlisting you.  You need to put these sale prices on the correct products.  If you do so correctly (putting a correct sale price on each prize) you'll be handsomely compensated by winning all three prizes!  Get to it!

Well, that's not bad.  There is a chance.  What's the price of the keyboard?
