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.

He seems to have a system worked out. Hope it pays off for you. Is that dispenser $48?

**buzz**

No, but you're in great shape here. Unless you were way off, the odds are in your favor...

Your profile pic is a laughing Shiba Inu dog. Maybe it's time to get one? But I digress.

Is the water bottle $30?

**buzz**

Nope. Johannes is going to keep on climbing!

That was a very good bid! How much was it really?



Now, Johannes can move 16 steps safely. As long as you don't miss the price of the cereal dispenser by more than $16, you're golden. How much do you think it is?

Well I can't say I'm shocked since I don't have any pets. I'm going to go up from here and say 30 bucks for the bottle.

Am I pronouncing this right? arr-see-tee-enn-kay-ninety-nine?

rctnk99 says the pet brush is $7. Is rctnk right?

*buzz*

Nope. Johannes is going to take one step for every dollar you missed it by.

Thanks, Victini! Now comes your second test. How much does the water bottle cost?

So the brush... I'll go for 7 bucks.

What a relevant username! That toilet is yours if you can save the life of Johannes here. Now, Johannes is a young, wide-eyed, idealistic mountain climber who's set off to see the world.

Unfortunately, he's not very bright. In fact, if you don't stop him, he'll march right off the edge of that cliff! But you can save his life if you know something about these three prizes.



First, this combination pet brush/flea comb is a vital tool not only makes your pet’s hair look great, but it efficiently removes fleas and flea eggs leaving your pet with a shiny, flea-free coat.

Next, this 20 oz insulated water bottle from Klean Kanteen is eco-friendly and 100% BPA free, so nobody’s going to confuse you with those filthy heathens who use that crinkly plastic garbage.

And finally, this easy-to-use cereal dispenser holds any two varieties. Imagine the possibilities: In one side, that bran Special K stuff. In the other... delicious Cookie Crisp. Mmmmm. Tough choice there.

Johannes can move 25 steps safely up this mountain. Tell me what you think is the price of the pet brush--and only the pet brush. Get as close as you can to the price--for every dollar you're off by, Johannes is going to take one step closer to his death!
