The Price is Right: Episode 2

about 7 years

Liked the first one? It’s back for another go-round!

Steph was the big winner last time, winning over $22,000 in prizes. You could be like her and win a crapload of fake prizes… but only if the Price is Right!

Format

Bidding is retooled it a bit to make it a bit more fair. No more sign-ups—bidding is open to anybody.

You'll get 48 hours to bid on a prize. Instead of getting one bid only, you can make as many bids as you want. Just three rules:

  1. Just like an auction, you can raise your bid, but you can't lower it.
  2. Each time you raise, you must bid at least $20 more than your previous bid.
  3. When the bids freeze, only your highest bid will be considered.

After the bids are frozen, the player closest to the actual retail price without going over wins the prize and gets to play a pricing game to try to win something even better.

Four pricing games are played. The two biggest winners after four pricing games get to play the showcases. Same as it worked last time.

Rules:

  • If it’s your turn to play a pricing game and you don’t respond within 24 hours, you’ll get a prod; don’t respond within 48 hours and it’s an auto lose. So don’t do that.
  • PM me if you're going to be in the middle of a hurricane or something and can't check the thread. I'll see if I can help you out, although I will try to keep the game moving as best it can.
  • Prices are in US dollars. Our friends outside the US may use a currency converter to help them out if they need them. (No googling the prices of prizes—that would be unfair.)
  • Audience participation is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED! Feel free to shout out suggestions in the thread.

Once again, thanks to those who participated and followed for making this another great show! After the first episode went well, I wondered if I was able to one-up it, and that meant more feature creep set in doing the script/graphics compared to the first episode. I'm pleased to see that you all found it enjoyable. Thanks for playing!

Alright, we're back! Whichever of you is closest without going over wins.

LekkuLover, your showcase had donuts, body armor, and a trip to Antarctica. You bid $5,000 on it all, but the actual retail price of your showcase is....



for a difference of...



just $19,665. Pretty close, I think.

Victini bid $17,569 on a trailer and a bunch of other things. If you can get even closer than $19,665 on your showcase bid, you'll win.

Victini, the actual retail price of your showcase...

What a victory! Victini has graduated from the Cliffhangers school of modeling to the biggest winner of the show! He's won over $29,000 worth of prizes.

Folks, this is JohnMiller reminding you, help control the pet population. Because, sometimes, when a boy pet and a girl pet feel a special spark between them, they can get an urge, and they don't know better-- anyways, the cue card says "spayed or neutered", and yep, that sure is an important cause.

Goodbye everybody! Thanks for watching!

But now that you have your books, where are you going to study? How about on this leather couch!



From Blaise, this sofa features white, hand-rubbed, two-tone leather has an abundance of style and soft, generously padded chaise cushions. It also features completely adjustable power headrest and recliners, plus USB ports for easy device charging!

Ah, this sure seems like the perfect study setup when you have peace and quiet. But what are you going to do if your roommates are distracting you? Well, you can always pack up and move to the middle of the wilderness to get some solitude… in your new travel trailer!





It’s the 2017 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 175RD! This 21 foot travel trailer sleeps three and includes a spacious, open floor plan with kitchen, dinette, and living areas!

And this showcase can be yours if the Price is Right!

Victini, that's your showcase! What do you bid on it?

$5000 for LekkuLover. The audience seems to think that's low, but maybe Lekku knows something we don't.

Victini, this is your showcase!

Victini, it’s back to school season, so this showcase is filled with prizes that will help you study! And to start you off with a handy study companion, an iPad mini!



This iPad mini 4 has a gorgeous 7.9 inch Retina display, 128 GB storage, and built-in headphone jack!

But maybe you prefer studying with actual books. And you’ll need somewhere to keep them… like this new bookcase!



From Land of Nod, this Modern Maze white bookcase makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. A complete storage system with a contemporary edge!

And textbooks are expensive these days. So to help you buy them, here’s a $1,000 Amazon gift card!



If you can’t guess how much this costs, you are officially banned from the show for life.

And finally, the fluffy penguin. This penguin is one of the cutest characters in the whole game, but its job can get REALLY complicated. Some days it just gets too much to bear. The penguin hopes one day to get some time off and take a vacation… on this Antarctic cruise!



You and a guest will fly round-trip from Los Angeles to Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost town in the world! After a day of seeing the sights of Pantagonia, you’ll embark on an 11-day cruise to the Antarctic peninsula! You’ll sail aboard a luxury expedition ship with professional chefs and on board-entertainment, while trained experts guide you through the penguin rookeries, seal wallows, bird colonies, and whale feeding areas of the region!

And this showcase can be yours if the Price is Right!

Victini, you're the top winner. You can either bid on this showcase or pass it to Lekku and bid on Showcase #2. What'll it be?

This showcase contains prizes that are on the wish lists of some of the most important epicmafia roles!

First, there’s the Cop. He’s up late every night tirelessly investigating the mafia, but he feels like he’d be able to work more efficiently if only he had…a supply of donuts!



From Krispy Kreme, it’s a year’s supply of donuts! You will receive one dozen glazed and one dozen assorted donuts, every month, for a year!

Second is the bulletproof, or, as better known, the BP! He’s willing to draw the mafia’s fire, but his vest can only take one hit. He can’t help thinking that he’d be more useful if only he had…this new body armor!



This Armor Express Wolverine DM Tactical Vest provides outstanding upper-body protection against bullets and stab wounds. Contains over-the-shoulder ballistic protector and a pocket to hold an optional hydration system. Available in nine different colors!

Contestants not appearing in the showcases will receive a fabulous consolation prize: a new iPhone charger!


Can I get one for Android please?

The biggest winner of the show so far is Victini!

And LekkuLover is the runner-up!

Both of you will each be shown a terrific showcase filled with thousands of dollars of wonderful prizes. The one of you who bids nearer to the actual retail price of your own showcase will win it. But if you are the winner, and you are $250 or less away from the retail price of your own showcase, you will win both showcases!

Pay close attention to this first showcase, because it could go to either one of you. Good luck!

What else was I supposed to guess? Admittedly, I figured the fish tank would be worth a lot less.. like, 650-750. But there was no way either of those would be more expensive then the Moped

It's a big fish tank. I dunno, it's not the kind of thing you shop for every day. Hopefully it's cheap! How much is it?



$1,200. That's more than I would pay for a fish tank, personally. I'm a little bit worried. TV has to be more than that for you to have a shot at winning. How much is it?



It is! If that moped costs more than $1,997, you're a winner. Is it?



It is! We have a winner! Congratulations! Enjoy your stuff!

Showcases are coming right up right after this break! (I need to tally up who won the most, and my calculator is really slow, so they'll be going up on Saturday.)

Victini, COME ON DOWN! You are the next contestant on The Price is Right!

Our model from Cliffhangers was only off by $2, not too shabby! One of the best bids on the show so far!

That pricing knowledge will come in handy when you're playing for THIS!

It's a lovely fish tank, a stylish moped, and a big-screen TV!



First, this 55 gallon fish tank will add elegance to your home and earn disapproving looks from nearby animal rights activists.

Next, this electric moped can travel up to 40 miles on one charge! Get the jump on all those fools in the bike lane as you sputter past them going 25 miles an hour!

Finally this 75” LED Smart 4K TV displays crystal-clear images in vibrant, lifelike color. And it can upconvert old shows to near-4K quality, so your Desperate Housewives marathons will never look sharper! (Don’t worry, your secret is safe with us.)

Victini, I don't know how long it's been since you've played with blocks, but you'll be doing that today.



This game is easy! In fact, it's easy as 1-2-3!

Put the 1 block on the least expensive prize. Put the 2 block on the middle prize. And put the 3 block on the most expensive prize. Do it correctly and you'll win all three prizes!
