Path to Perfection III: 123123123's PG Gauntlet (S2, E8)
« on: August 06, 2024, 01:17:25 PM »
Guess who's back,
back again,
Number's back,
tell a friend...


Starting this Thursday afternoon (8/8), the Numbers studio will once again open its doors to all contestants who want to try their luck.

I've put together another pricing game gauntlet to test the skills of the site's expert pricers. It's less work to put together and allows for more people to join in, a win-win to me.

Just like a normal show there will be 6 pricing games, but no IUFBs to worry about.

All contestants will play all the pricing games at the same time. If you keep winning, you keep playing for a shot at perfect show bragging rights. But the moment you lose a game, you'll be immediately escorted out of the building, deemed a poor pricer.

The show keeps going until someone makes it to the end or all players are eliminated.

My feelings still remain unchanged from last show. Will it be fun? I sure hope so. Will it be easy? Not a chance, as the crew fully expects most of you to flame out before the first commercial break  :lol:

But I love being proved wrong (like TPiRFan#9821 did last time out), so come one and all and flex your pricing muscles!

Since everyone who joins will play, no need for an elaborate sign up, but please give a simple "I'm in" so I know who's a part of it

There's absolutely no way I flame out on the first one again!

Right?

right?
Quote from: Bill Todman
"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

------------------

1233: We have a good showing today, so let's get things going.

Just a quick reminder, winning cures all. Keep on winning and you'll have nothing to worry about!

Lose and, well... we won't talk about that.

So with that in mind, let's hear about this wonderful prize next to us to start the day.





Announcer: It's a stylish (and unfortunately unnecesary) wardrobe! Don't you just hate when your backordered, non-returnable furniture shows up at your door right when you forget about it and end up buying it somewhere else instead? Well that exactly how this wonderful piece is here today.

From Grainwood, this 2-door, 6 foot tall wardrobe has a rich finish, is made of 100% solid wood and feature two deep drawers for optimal storage. There it is, in all its redundant glory, Numbers!


1233: After hearing all about my announcer's ordeal (which may or may not be based on a real story), I had to help him out.

Announcer: Wouldn't really consider this helping, but whatever floats your boat.

1233: I convinced him to not bring it to a flea market or post it on Craigslist, but instead bring it down to the studio for our own convoluted Swap Meet!!

Lucky for you all, our swap meet doesn't actually involves any swapping. If you can pick the prize behind the door with the same price as this spare wardrobe, I'll simply give you everything on stage.

What else do we have behind the door, Mr. Announcer?

Announcer: We have other house essentials for you with...



{door 2 opens}



...a new TV, a comfy sofa and a outdoor sound system!!!



First this Samsung 98" Crystal UHD smart TV has 4K resolution and built in Amazon Alexa voice assistance!

Then, this Kiara slate sofa is 85" long and has high-resiliency foam cushions wrapped in thick poly fiber for a quality feel!

And finally, this outdoor venue speaker package includes 2 weather-resistant speakers, 2 subwoofers and an amplifier for complete control!

There they are, 123!





{some applause}

1233: Like I said earlier, let me know what costs the same as this wardrobe. I'll give you guys 48 hours to think it over and post your guess in the thread.

Also, I guess I'll just leave the studio doors open in case anyone who still wanted to join got stuck in traffic.  :lol:

Try not to let the first game do you in!

{players start thinking it over}

I've had to haul one of those stylish and unnecessary wardrobes up the stairs before - you'd think I'd remember how much it cost...

I'm am going to say the prize with the same price is the sofa.
