[rockyboy34]

I’m gonna raise it to $900 and freeze there.

*BUZZ!*

*BUZZ!*

Some bids did not go through, and here's why:

$777.

Gridlock, appreciate the enthusiasm, but I know the mods typically like new members to spend some time posting in other sections like The Talk is Right before playing in Host Your Own games. The rule is at least 20% of your posts coming from discussions about the current show. Keeping with the rules of the forum, I'm gonna encourage you to make some posts in other sections before declaring you an eligible contestant. Once you've met those requirements, we'd love to have you back for a future HYO.

$1820?

Since TPIRfan#9821 froze at $1818, all bids from $1818-$1837 are off limits.

I’m gonna raise it to $900 and freeze there.

Since this isn't your opening bid, underbidding is not allowed. If you wish to raise, you have to go at least $20 higher than the top bid.

As it stands, the current bids are:

[tpir04]

<insert bad joke about gamesurf sniping my post here>

As for my bid, I will reluctantly freeze, though I'm not sure either option is desirable.

[LiteBulb88]

I will freeze as well.

[tpiradam]

Let’s try $1,200

[William]

$799

[rockyboy34]

I guess I’ll freeze then.

[PatrickRox80]

I'll freeze mine as well.

[JhayPrice]

Can I still try for $1,838?

[pathfinder20]

I am going to underbid and say 1200 again.

[gamesurf]

*DING!*
*DING!*
*DING DING!*
*DING DING!*
*DING!*
*DING!*
*DING!*
*BUZZ!*

pathfinder20, tpiradam has already bid $1,200.

Four freezes, two underbids, and a new top bid.



Under 24 hours to go!

[TPIRfan#9821]

Unfortunately, I said I'd freeze earlier. I'd have probably upped Jhayprice again.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s underbid with 1100 then.

[gamesurf]

*DING!* (my mistake,  #9821; thanks for the honesty)
*DING!*
*DING DING!*

Aaaaaand TIME! Freeze all bids, please!



Biiiiig gap from $1,200 to $1,800. This is easily the widest range of bids we've seen so far.

Moment of truth has arrived. The actual retail price... IS!



Whoa! $1,970, and the winner is aaaaall the way there at the top! Going high paid off for you!



JhayPrice, COME ON DOWN! You’re the next contestant on The Price is Right!

*JhayPrice stands up from his seat and runs down the aisle, up the stairs, and onto the stage*

JhayPrice, you’ve picked a fiiine time to win your way up on stage. Not only have you won that beautiful chaise, but, you’ll also get the chance to win THIS!

*band plays an instrumental version of Jeopardy by the Greg Kihn Band*

It’s a chance to win up to sixteen THOUSAND dollars in cash!





Sixteen thousand dollars! And because Alex Trebek recently celebrated his 80th birthday, we’re paying tribute by temporarily retheming one of our favorite games.







See, on most games, we give you a product and you tell us the price. But in this game, we’ll give you the prices! You’ll have to tell us the products that go with those prices. It's backwards, you see.







And these are the six products you’ll need to know something about in order to win that 16 grand. Won’t you tell us about them, AnnouncerTron?

Sure will, gamesurf!

And JhayPrice, we have in front of you five bags with price tags on them. Those five prices correspond to five of the items on that podium. To win the 16 grand, you'll have to tell me, which item goes in which bag?

One of those items is worth 88 cents. Which one is it?
One of them is $12.97. Which of the remaining products belongs in that bag?
And so on, and so on, until all five bags are filled.

Get all five bags right, and that sixteen grand is as good as yours!

*from crowd*

This looks tough, but I'd go Kit Kat/melatonin/jelly beans/pizza/adhesive. The cards are really throwing me off so, like most of my problems, I'm just ignoring them for the time being.
