Hello all! I am so excited that HYO has resumed. I've spent some time toying with multiple ideas for a show but I figure for it's return I'll start with a 'basic' one-hour show. Extravagant prizes and lots of glitz and glamour! The vast majority of prices are in Canadian dollars. Sign ups will commence now and close up Sunday evening with the show beginning on Monday the 5th. I need at least nine people to sign up. The contestant selection process will go as follow. I'd like you to tell me which game you think you'd excel at and why. I'm looking for more than 'Double Prices because its 50/50', I'm looking for substance. Now for the rules:
- 24hr response time limit. If you are unable to respond within this time limit please let me know and I will wave the penalty. Otherwise a failure to respond will result in a penalty.
- Audience participation is definitely allowed; however I would prefer that the candor be a little more calmer. No heckling from the audience please!
I will PM when you are called on down. After that you are on your own to keep track of when it's your turn to bid and onstage and so on. I'm hoping for a fun and exciting show and that everyone has a ton of fun! This could be the start of the rebirth of a fun and successful HYO career :)
-
I believe I would do best at 1/2 Off. I could easily judge the 1/2 off price from the actual price on each pair of SPs, and, for as long as I can remember, I have had a knack for picking the right box in the main game.
-
I believe I would excel at Hole in One-- I can do at least reasonably well placing the groceries in order from least to most expensive and I am very good with putting straight.
-
Canada, eh? :-D And you know I'm in! :-)
As for a game I think I'd excel at? Probably That's Too Much. It sounds peculiar, I know, but the main thing you need to know in this admittedly tough game is a general idea of car prices and where you typically have to stop (3rd to 8th spots). Since I spend way too much time looking for car prices, I think I could win this game if it came up. Call me crazy. ;-)
-
I would go for Card Game. Yet if I would stumble upon getting the $1000 card I would really need to zero in on getting close to the price of the car there. Of course it has to be at least $999 away from the price of the car. Hopefully the temples in my brain can do wonders with that! I wonder if my eyes and/or eyebrows can do as well?! Weird? Yes! Yet you never know! Lol!
-
I'd be down to join. Who doesn't like Canada?
If I had to choose one game, it would have to be Bonkers. Do I know the last digit in the price of a Ski-Doo? Absolutely not. But the game does a great job of combining two of my best skills. My short distance speed would get me a good amount of guesses and my uncanny ability to be completely ignorant would mean that I wouldn't look at the crowd even once. :-D
-
Count me in.
-
I'll throw my hat into the ring!
A game I would certainly excel at would be Superball. I definitely have a grasp of the prices of the small prizes, and I am really good at skeeball. Sure, it's retired in the US, but that doesn't mean it can't show in the Canadian version!
-
One game I think I would excel at (and have actually mostly excelled at while playing along at home) is Triple Play, not necessarily due to the gameplay itself, but more due to having extensive knowledge of the base prices of the cars they’ve been using for this game, along with the (to me) easy setups they’ve been using for the last several years with $2,000+ gaps between each fake price. If I remember correctly, I’ve been able to "win" each car with nearly 100% accuracy.
-
One game I think I will excel at is Grand Game. I play along with the show and usually win 95% of the time.
-
It is Sunday evening according to Los Angeles time however I only have eight participants so far. I’m extending the sign up deadline until tomorrow evening in the hopes I can get one more participant...
-
Well, I am Canadian so I guess I should partake here.
I think I'd be good at Clock Game. I'm a fast talker when I want to be and could probably rattle off prices at a good speed.
-
Thank you to everyone who signed up. Sign ups are now closed and with there being nine participants that guarantees everyone a shot. The show will begin shortly...

Announcer: Heeeeeeere it comes! From the Molson Ampitheatre in the heart of downtown Toronto, its the Price is Right!

-
Thanks for having me! I'll go with $2,123 for the fridge
-
$2,525 please.

Exactly $2,148.
-
DarkShockBro: $1,777
123123123: $2,123
JayC: $2,525
Gameshowfan9001: $2,148
Alright all the bids are in. The actual retail price is:...
Whooo wee!
$5,198! JayC that’s you! Come up here on stage!
(https://i.imgur.com/EeEvt0W.png)
Welcome on stage JayC! Now we couldn’t think of any better way to kick this show off than taking a trip down the Golden Road! It all begins with this single beefsteak tomato which leads on to this:...
Announcer: A new fireplace!
(https://i.imgur.com/vPKP2OC.jpg)
This Cole Electric Media Fireplace will keep your room nice and toasty while housing your television and has shelving for books or movies!
Now as you know from there we continue on down the Golden Road to something bigger and better, like this!:...
Announcer: A new ring!
(https://i.imgur.com/LatT6Zu.jpg)
From the Neiman Marcus catalogue the David Yurman Custom Albion Ring makes a big statement and is sure to catch the eye of everyone as you walk into the room!
And that’s not all! As you know at the end of the Golden Road we always have something exquisite! Something extravagant! And today is no exception! Today at the end of the Golden Road we have a prize that is more than $98,000! Let’s see what it is!!!:...
Announcer: A new BMW convertible!!!
(https://i.imgur.com/qqwsjAW.jpg)
The 2019 BMW M4 Cabriolet! Comes with standard equipment, Sakhir Orange Metallic II, Premium Package and Driver Assistance Package, the BMW M4 Cabriolet!
That tomato is 52 cents. Let’s head over to that fireplace.
(https://i.imgur.com/X6f0EPn.png)
In the price the last two numbers are 3 and 0. The first number is either a 5 or a 2. What do you say?
-
I think all 4 of us forgot to bid in Canadian dollars instead of US dollars...
-
Very excited to be playing Golden Road!
I will go with 5 for the first number.
-
He says it’s a 5 and it is...
(https://i.imgur.com/psspmJS.png)
*dingdingding*
A 5! $530. You’ve won that and now we go on further down the Golden Road to this ring.
(https://i.imgur.com/U9N64iP.png)
In the price of the ring there are four numbers but one is missing. Using the numbers in the price of the fireplace tell us is that missing number a 5, a 3 or a 0?
-
I'm going to go with the 3 Adam!
-
Ok. He’s going with a 3.
If it’s a three you’ll go on further to play for that BMW!
It is...
(https://i.imgur.com/NiLn9ao.png)
*dingdingdingdingdingdingdingding*
A three! Let’s go get that BMW! Five numbers in the price.
(https://i.imgur.com/g2nB65H.png)
Look at that. $98,000+! That missing number. Is it the 6, the 3, the 0 or the 9 that goes in that space?
-
I would recommend the 0. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but the correct missing number for each prize would make up the price of the fireplace, $530.
-
I disagree. I’d go 6.
-
*Yells 3 from back of the crowd*
-
This is a tough call-- I'm ruling out 3 since it was the correct number for the last prize, and 9 would be repeating. That leaves 6 and 0, tpir04 has a good point about the 0, but 6 looks good in the price too.
I'm going to go with... 0. Hoping tpir04's hunch is correct!
-
Alright. If it’s a 0 you are the owner of a brand new BMW convertible.
I can just see you whipping around town now!
You like orange right? It’s a beautiful colour on a car.
That number is!...
(https://i.imgur.com/JnxT0kz.png)
Aww it was a three! No convertible for you but you did win those other prizes and you’ll have a shot at our Showcase Showdown!
-
Ouch, 3 actually was the right choice. Turns out 123 was the one I should've listened to. Oh well, still won some nice prizes.
-
We have an empty spot in Contestants Row. What are we going to do about that?
Announcer: We’re gonna call tpir04, come on down! You’re the next contestant on The Price is Right!!!
Welcome to our celebration tpir04! Let’s keep this party going with the next item up for bids!:
Announcer: It’s a fantastic trip to Edmonton!

Phooey...I was sure it was a zero! Ah well. Hmm...tpir04...that name looks awfully familiar...
(looks at PM, inviting me to COD)
Oh! That is me! Well whaddya think about that?

Fortunately, that's not the case. I'll bid $4444.
-
$7,666...

GameShowFan9001: $7,666

That sounds like an incredible trip, and I have something that may make it even more incredible, don't I?
Announcer: You sure do how about $50,000 in cash?!?!
(https://i.imgur.com/GdMaKKE.png)
$50,000 in cash would go a looooooong way on your trip that's for sure! We're playing Grand Game for $50,000 but first we're going to start you off with $5. Target Price today:
$8.50
$8.50. Four of these grocery items are priced below $8.50. Two are above. If you pick one that is less than the target price we will move that $5 up by adding a zero at the end. If you successfully choose the four below the target price you win $50,000. Picking any of the two higher than the target price ends the game. Let's hear about those grocery items please!
Announcer: Alright. First we have a 2L tub of premium Canadian-made ice cream dessert.
(https://i.imgur.com/P4ScD1z.png)
Next up is a 600g package of Chicken and Bacon Sacchettini pasta
(https://i.imgur.com/fn7jqM5.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/lCrHgZl.png)
And finally we have a 12pk Container of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! (best before date irrelevant)
(https://i.imgur.com/5gAIkg3.jpg)
I want you to pick out one of those items you believe is less than $8.50 and we'll bump you up to $50.
-
Try the cookies 🍪 first.
-
Seeing all those products...you'd better award the $50K, or else you have to additionally do this HYO en français. :oldlol:
-
The 🍪 emoji works! 👍

$9.99
*bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* *losing horns*

Ice Cream: $3.99
Chicken: $11.99
Cheese: $5.99
It was the ice cream and the cheese that would've given it to you. I'm sorry tpir04. Perhaps you'll get it back at the big wheel. We'll try again after these words!
-
We need ourselves a winner! Who gets that spot in Contestant's Row?
Announcer: It's going to be...priceguy! Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!

The actual retail price of that wooden playhouse is $3,589 DarkShockBro that’s you! Come up here on stage! We have a multitude of prizes hiding behind the big doors let’s take a look!
*Fortune Hunter cue & sirens*
Announcer: A new LED TV, a glass vase, a sofa sectional and a freestanding bathtub!
First from Panasonic this 65” TV brings you a clear crisp picture for an enhanced viewing experience!
(https://i.imgur.com/lzeKdE5.jpg)
Second from the Neiman Marcus catalogue this Lalique Medium Poissons Vase is sure to be the focal point of any room with its articulate design!

Next the overstuffed cushions on this 6pc Flint Brinley Sofa Sectional offers a great deal of comfort and support and features an armrest with storage and cup holders!
(https://i.imgur.com/B3hzJdP.jpg)
And finally the Cheviot Regency Cast Iron Clawfoot Soaking Bathtub gives a mixture of practicality and comfort and can make any bathroom stand out in style!
(https://i.imgur.com/khGeATU.jpg)
We are playing Danger Price! Or as I used to call it: the stop sign game. Four prizes and you will win them all if you can avoid the danger price of $3,500. Pick the three prizes that are not $3,500 and it’s all yours. What is your first pick?
(https://i.imgur.com/SGpBD9f.png)
-
I had a feeling that was expensive. :-D
In any case, let's start with the bathtub. I would appreciate the audience helping me out, since they all look about $3,500 to me.
-
It might be a clear and obvious trap I'm falling into here, but I'd pick the vase next. A vase can't possibly be that much, right?
I'd then avoid the TV, but it is a tossup between tv/sofa for me. Good luck though.
-
I would say the TV and sofa are safe picks, could be either the bathtub or vase.
-
He wants the bathtub first what's the price?...:
(https://i.imgur.com/3vYLGnr.png)
*ding*
$4,150! So far so good. What's your next choice?
-
I'd like the sofa.
-
How much is that sofa?!...:
(https://i.imgur.com/K4f042d.png)
*MRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPP* *losing horns*
Oh no! The sofa was $3,500! Let's take a look at what he should've picked:
(https://i.imgur.com/OcjRMhn.png)
You needed the TV and the vase for the win. I'm sorry DarkShockBro. Perhaps you'll get it back at the Showcase Showdown which is coming up right after this!...
-
Here we are with the first Showcase Showdown of the day! Each of you will spin the wheel. The one who gets closest to 1.00 without going over in one spin or a combinations of two spins will be in the Showcase at the end of the show. If you should be so fortunate as to get the 1.00 in one or a combination of two spins you will receive a $1,000 bonus! In that bonus spin if it lands in the 5 or 15 you win $10,000 BUT if you get that 1.00 in your bonus spin you will win $25,000!
Here's how the Showcase Showdown will play out. Numbers 1-20. Pick two numbers and tell me what amount you'd stop on in your first spin. One number correlates to two values for example 1 could equal 90 in spin #1 and 95 in spin #2 so it is possible to pick the same number for both of your spins if you choose to do so. The numbers have been matched to a value and cu has a copy of the numbers just in case anyone has any rifts about what they picked etc...
1st: DarkShockBro: ($3,589)
2nd: priceguy: ($5,878)
3rd: JayC: ($12,037)
-
1 and 1, stop on 60 or above.
-
1st: DarkShockBro: ($3,589)
2nd: priceguy: ($5,878)
3rd: JayC: ($12,037)
How did I get there? Obviously you meant tpir04 instead of me.
-
Oops my bad. You were the last one called down so your name was in my mind.
I should note that the numbers for spins are different for every participant as well as every spin.
-
Tryin' to give my place away...how dare you! :P
I was born on October 19, so I'll take 10 and 19, please. Stop if I tie or beat Shock.
-
Alright there goes DarkShockBro's first spin. Around and around it goes and stops on...
30
30 cents and it looks like he will be spinning again. This isn't looking too good. Hurry up get off that number!...
80
*MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPP*
Ohhhh I'm very sorry DarkShockBro. Thank you very much for being with us today! Up next with a giant nametag so that I no longer get their nametag mixed up, tpir04! Oh wow that was a big spin! No need to worry if that will go all the way around or not. Oh look at this! Look at what's coming on down here! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!...
1.00
(https://i.imgur.com/zpucnzH.png)
One dollar! You've won $1,000 tpir04! Take your spot over by the scoreboard there and wait for your bonus spin! Up next is JayC. The best you can do is tie which will result in a spinoff on top of another $1,000 win...
-
9 and 2, only stopping if I get a dollar of course.
-
Ok and there he goes. JayC is looking for that dollar. Not going to get it in one spin but he will start off with a...
55
55 cents. One more spin. Looking for that 45 cents. There it goes but it doesn’t look like it’s going to come back around...
15
15 and 55 is not enough. Thank you JayC enjoy your prizes! Step right over here tpir04 for your bonus spin! 5 or 15 gets you $10,000. Get the dollar again and you will win $25,000! Spin it hard because if it doesn’t go all the way around it does not count.
Same as before except one number 1-20.
-
Well, I didn't need 19 in the first spin, so I'll use it now! Here's hoping for another dollar!
-
...There it goes it made it all the way around. But does it have enough momentum to get some bonus money??...
45
Not quite. But you’ve won $1,000 and you have a spot in our Showcase which will be at the end of our show!
-
We’ve just had a $1,000 winner on the big wheel so let’s continue with some winning. Who’s going to help us with that?

-
I smell a trap. I'd go $560.
-
I'd go $506. (Yes, I know that's breaking the zero rule, but if you want a trap, that's a perfect one.)
-
*looks at crowd*
Hmm...
*turns first dial to 6*
*turns second dial to 5*
*turns third dial to 0*
I haven't seen any traps so far and $650 was my first thought. Let's say I'm playing the obvious choice angle. :-D
-
Turn that wheel to the right! Now turn it all the way to the left! Turn it some more now pull on that handle. If the helmets are $650 it should open...
It's open!

If you guess the prize exactly right you win all the prizes and you win all three choices of the cards regardless of what happens previously. Tell us about those prizes please:...
Announcer: For starters we have this adorable 15" plush cat stuffed animal for cuddling up with,

And finally in celebration of the film's 30th anniversary this BluRay/DVD combo pack of Walt Disney's Animated Classic: The Little Mermaid!

Alright first things first tell me which two cards you'd like off the board...
-
Hmmmmmm...I'll take cards 1 and 2 to start please.
And to speed things up slightly, I'm gonna guess $30 for the plush cat and take card #3 if I win it.
-
That stuffed animal is...:
$45
*BZZZZZZZZZZZ*
Aww you missed it $15. No Pusheen, no card. What’s your guess for the figurine?
-
*Peanut Gallery*
Go like $26 or $27. I know a Funko figure is normally something like $12.50 in the US. I don't know the conversion from Canadian to American, but I would assume it is something close to the lower end, while allowing for leeway just in case prices skyrocket in Canada.
-
$25, and card #4 if I win
-
How much for that figurine?:...
$13
*BZZZZZZZZZZZ*
$13 and you missed it $12! You just have to have another card! Now let’s get one tell me the price of that movie!...
-
I'd say $20 or so. (I keep forgetting that it's $CAD and not $USD!)
-
I'd hate to blow it on my first ever game...
I guess I'll say $20, and card #30 if I win it. If it's exactly right, I'll also take cards 3 and 4.
At this point, I'm just praying that I can at least get another card...
-
Ok, he says $20 for the movie. If he's within $10 above or below he wins and gets to pick another card. What is the price?!...
$30
*ding*
$30! You just barely got it! He'll take card #30 as a result.
You now have three cards. Hypothetically you could spell C-A-R but you also could not. On each of those cards it says $2,000. Times three is $6,000. I'm giving you the option to bail now with $6,000 and forget about that car or we can look at one card at a time.
(Also of note just like with the Showcase Showdowns the card results were randomized and a copy sent to an admin)
-
I’ll go for it for now...
-
Ok. I shall reveal the first card and discover we have a...
A
*ding*
An A. Do you want to take $4,000 and quit or keep going?
-
I'll go on.
-
I look behind this card and we have...
A
*bzzt*
Another A. $2,000 and walk away or are you going to go for it and hope you have one of the two CAR cards?
-
I guess I'll go for it, cause why not?
-
He’s risking it all and going for the car. Let’s see if we have one of the elusive CAR cards here...
C
*bzzzzzzzzzzzz* *losing horns*
Aww it was just a C. No car and no money. Maybe you’ll get it back at the big wheel...
-
We have time for one more contestant. Who will it be?!
Announcer: it’s going to be GeniusMath! Come on down!! You’re the next contestant on The Price is Right!!
Welcome genius! You have one chance to bid don’t blow it. Let’s see what they’re bidding on:...

Actual retail price...
$6,143! TPIRfan#9821! Come on up on stage! Now you may have noticed that things on this show have been big. Grand I say! And it keeps getting bigger, better and grander, with this!...:
Announcer: A new car!!!
(https://i.imgur.com/WNVmE85.jpg)
The 2019 Volvo S90 Inscription T8 eAWD! Comes with standard equipment plus these options!: Onyx Black Metallic, 20" 10-spoke Silver Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels, Amber Nappa Leather Seating, Luxury Package, Premium Package, Rear Air Suspension, Bowers & Wilkins Premium Sound System and Graphical Heads Up Display, the Volvo S90!
Isn't that a beautiful car?! It will be yours if you do not strike out. You're playing 3 Strikes!
(https://i.imgur.com/DxI9tmK.png)
The numbers in the price of the car are 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9. And of course we have to put that dreaded strike in the bag. I'll mix them up and you'll reach in and hopefully pull out a number and tell us where it belongs in the price of the car. If you pull that strike out of the bag three times it's game over, no car for you, but we hope that won't happen. Reach into that bag and pull out a number!
Randomizer in effect. Pick a number 1-6. Each disc corresponds with a number.
-
...Oh boy! I wasn't expecting a 3-car show :D
Anyways, I'll draw a 1.
-
And he pulls out...
X
*MRRRRRP*
Strike one. Not off to a good start. Reach in there and pull out a number!
(Discs are re-randomized for each draw because obviously you wouldn't pick 1 again otherwise :P)
-
1 again.
-
This time he finds...
2
a 2. Where does that belong in the price of the car?
-
I'm going to be just too funny and put the 2 in the #2 slot. It would be too much of a shame to shove as many 2's in a couple short sentences, only to realize that I got too self absorbed to talking about the number 2 to win 3 Strikes. :P
-
He says 2 goes in the 2 spot...
(https://i.imgur.com/5ZsmMsj.png)
*ding*
That's right! Reach in that bag and do it again!
(number 1-5)
-
...That actually makes me very happy. Not only did my lame puns work, but I think I've deduced the price down to two options.
In the words of DJ Khaled, another 1.
-
This time he gets...
6
The 6. Where does that number go?
-
Let's try the third slot.
-
Is 6 the third number?
*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT*
It is not. Back in the bag it goes. Pull out another number!
-
So, I'm pretty sure I know the price now. Not much I can do but hope that the assumptions I made were right and I don't strike out.
I'll stick to the 1 train.
-
And we get...
6
The 6 again. Where does it go this time?
-
Let's move a slot over to the tens digit.
-
We wanna see that 6 in the tens position!...
(https://i.imgur.com/uSOC8Aj.png)
And we do! Very good! You keep pulling those numbers out and that car is yours!
(numbers 1-4)
-
I'll still stick with the 1. Let's just see if RNG is on my side.
-
What do we have this time?
9
The 9. Where does that go?
-
Let's shove that 9 in the first position!
(And to speed things up, regardless of result, I'm just going to draw another 1.)
-
He thinks that's a $90,000 car. Is it?!
(https://i.imgur.com/tmDz9OV.png)
It is!! Look at that! You are doing spectacularly so far! Keep it up! What do we get this time?!...
8
The 8. Where does that belong?
-
Let's put the 8 in the third position, and hopefully the car is $92,865.
-
Show us that 8!!!
(https://i.imgur.com/MHujwnD.png)
*ding*
Yes yes yes!!! One number left! Two strikes to go. Let's get you that car!
-
The 9, 8, and 2 are all on the board. I might as well try to finish this off by drawing a 1!
...and if it's a strike, I don't care! I'm still going to draw a 1!
-
We're hoping for a number!...
X
*BZZZZZZZZZZZT*
Oh no that's strike two! It all comes down to this. One strike, one number, one final draw...
-
...and if it's a strike, I don't care! I'm still going to draw a 1!
I've made it this far in drawing 1's, and there's no point in stopping now! Let's finish this game off with a 1!
-
This is it! What do we get?! What do we get?!...
X
*MRRRRRRRRRRRRRP* *losing horns*
Augh how painful! And you knew the price of the car too. I'm so sorry TPIRfan#9821. But we will see you at the Big Wheel right after this!
(https://i.imgur.com/mlkBCAa.png)
(I have all the randomized draws saved if anyone wondered)

Announcer: Contestants not appearing on stage will receive a $100 gift card from President's Choice to use at any Loblaw's bannered locations, groceries and more! And a gift package from !ndigo Books, including a personal shopper, Starbuck's line cutting, VIP seating and gift wrapping! Now here's our Showcase Showdown!
Here we are with our second Showcase Showdown. I have three contestants who won their way up on stage and are trying to score a little bit of cash as well as a coveted spot in out Showcase. GameShowFan9001, step over there and give that wheel a spin!
Same as before. Two numbers, 1-20, as well as what number you'll stay at. When it comes to the second and third spinners I'll need more than beating their score in case the prior spinner goes over.
GameShowFan9001: $3,681
TPIRfan#9801: $6,143
123123123: $28,719
-
Hmmmm...let’s go 13 for both (cause why not?), and I’ll stay on 70 or more.
-
That wheel is going around and around...and it's coming to a stop on...
60
60 cents. And he's going again! Going against the odds will it pay off?...Oh no! Stop on that...
90
*MRRRRRRRRRP*
Awww. You made a bold-ish move there spinning on a 60 and unfortunately it didn't pay off. Thank you GameShowFan. Up next, still recovering from that painful strikeout, TPIRfan#9821!...
-
1 for both (I will not give up on the power of one), stay on 55 or higher.
-
That was a big spin! Young & Restless might need to be pre-empted! Oh look what's coming on down here! Hurry!...
5
a 5. So close to that dollar. Here goes his second spin just as good as the last. Will it produce a bigger score?...
15
Not quite. 5 and 15 is 20. 123123123 all you need to do is beat a 20 and the way things have gone today it wouldn't surprise me if 20 wins it.
-
Let's go with 12 and 3 please
-
There goes that wheel. Looking to beat a 20. Wow can you believe this?!...
25
A quarter! With one spin you just got it! Congratulations! We will see you at the Showcases following this!...

The top winner in today's Showcase is 123123123!!! And our runner up is tpir04!!! Each of you will have a Showcase filled with wonderful prizes. The person who bids closest to the ARP of their Showcase without going over will win. However, if you should be so fortunate as to be $500 or less away from the ARP of your Showcase, you will win both Showcases! Now, 123123123, as the top winner you will have a look at Showcase #1 and tell me if you wish to bid on it or pass it on to tpir04 and wait for the second Showcase. Now that we're all ready, let's have a look at that first Showcase!
Announcer: This Showcases is filled with ELECTRIFYING prizes! And we will start with this gorgeous new chandelier!
(https://i.imgur.com/EZPGSo4.jpg)
This classically styled Tiffany Stained Glass Grand Tulip Medallion 6-Arm Chandelier will add a touch of class with glass and be sure to light up any room you choose!
Next, what could be more electrifying than a trip to the city of lights, Paris?!
(https://i.imgur.com/9IPlLzw.jpg)
You and a guest will fly round trip from Toronto to Paris, France via Air France and spend 7 nights in one of Paris's most luxurious hotels, Le Bristol Paris! Located in the heart of the city within walking distance to the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre!
(https://i.imgur.com/XGyOj9g.jpg)
And finally, nothing says electrifying than a pair of electric cars!!!
(https://i.imgur.com/tYfQjQT.jpg)
First it's the 2019 Chevrolet Volt Premier! Comes with standard equipment plus Green Mist Metallic, Driver Confidence II Package, Interior Protection Package, Illuminated Charge Port, Additional 120-V Portable Charge Cord, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, EV Charge Cord Bracket, Rear Side Window Manual Sunshades and Ambient Lighting!
(https://i.imgur.com/6rQJEvW.png)
And it's a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV! Comes with standard equipment plus Green Mist Metallic, Driver Confidence II Package, Winter/Summer Floor Mats Package, Black Emblems, Additional 120-V Portable Charge Cord, Aluminium Sill Plates, All Weather Cargo Mat and Cargo Net!
And this Showcase filled with prizes that are ELECTRIFYING can be yours if The Price is Right!
That looks like one fantastic Showcase 123123123! What do you say, is it bid or pass to tpir04?
-
Peanut gallery: the Premier is the highest trim of the Volt, over $40k in the US I believe before all those options. The Bolt I believe starts at somewhere around $35k before options in the US, so in the US this would easily be an $80k to $90k showcase or more due to all those options (or very possibly over $100,000). Add in the fact that this is in Canadian dollars (and the fact that there’s also a trip to Paris, probably well over $10,000 in Canada), and I think you have a showcase well into the 6 figures. I’d personally go no less than $130,000 or $140,000, and even that is probably pretty conservative.
-
I'm going to pass that over to my good friend tpir04. Good luck with that. :-D
-
*awakes from sleep*
Huh? What? Oh, my turn? Wait...what happened? Last thing I remember is spinning a dollar on the wheel...must've dozed off. What's that? #9821 had a heartbreaking 3 Strikes loss? Well, that's too bad.
*Drags myself to showcase podium; yawns*
Awfully nice showcase you got there. My bid? Hmm...I'll pass it back to Numbers. Oh, I can't? Dang. Well, I trust the peanut gallery with car prices, so with the $USD to $CAD conversion, I'll say $123,123.

-
This would definitely be easier if I knew anything about luxury cars. :-D
I'm going to go with $123,321 because I can't let tpir04 use my numbers and win. (I'm also banking on my showcase being more expensive)
