[Host note: I stupidly made a typo on the deadline and said the deadline would be 6 PM EST/9 PM PST. Those are two separate times, with hours of difference separating them. I should have said 9 PM EST/6 PM PST. While the three most recent bids happened after the time I intended to freeze all bids, it could be argued that they all came before 9PM PST, so the right to do here seems to be to let those bids go through.
We apologize for the discrepancy, and will have our copy editors spayed and neutered.]Aaaaaand... TIME! No more bids, please!
12 bidders this time, with bids down at the bottom from $595 aaaaalllll the way to the top at $1,230.
And the actual retail price of that chess set... IS!

We have here nine numbers all in a row. These aren't just any random numbers--you're actually looking at the prices of those three prizes right in front of you. We need your help to separate them out!
Two of those numbers belong in the price of the table lamp. Three of those numbers belong in the price of the cello. And four of those numbers belong in the price of the trip to London. You'll use these three sliders and slide them under you what you believe the prices to be. Each number is used once and only once, the prices are continuous, and they do not overlap.
If you can correctly tell us the three prices of the three prizes, you'll win them all!
