Mr. McDee thinks you three are off your rockers with those bids. Let us see if he is right or not.
The actual retail price of that pinball machine is
Five thousand two twenty-one! You three did go over! Nice bidding Bill Number 2! - (audience claps with music cue)
Let's go back here to this giant price tag Bill. - (Bill climbs the stairs and walks over next to me)
I guess you were confident that those three had overbid, although Kourtney was not over by that much to be fair. Do you by chance have a similar pinball machine in your home, Bill?

Well I'm about to ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) No, I had a pinball machine when I was a youth, nothing like this one though! And as nice a machine as it is, I felt those bids were just a teeny bit too high. I'm glad my instincts proved right!

Well your instincts might come into play during your pricing game as well so hopefully they pay off just as good. Tell him Paul!
Paul Boland: Bill you now have a chance to win up to fifty thousand dollars in cash!!! - (audience claps with music cue)
There is only one of them up there but you indeed have a shot at punching a bunch of cash on our Punchboard, Bill! There are no freebies in this game though - you have to earn those punches - 4 of them in fact using the 4 prizes we have over here, the first of which is what Paul?
Paul Boland: This retro-style radio from Philco is a throwback to yesteryear featuring six tubes and four-point tone control.
Bill we have a price on that radio of two hundred eighteen dollars but don't you believe it - that price is wrong - is the right price higher or lower?

Hmm, that's tough, but I think the right price is lower.

Bill says that price is too high - is he right is it lower?
Sure enough! One punch coming your way Bill, let's make it two with this prize.
Paul Boland: Have hours of fun with this high octane remote control buggy from Nikko!
Is that buggy higher or lower than one eighty-one Bill?

Is lower again right again?
Sure is! Two in a row Bill let's make it three - what's next Paul?
Paul Boland: This inversion table from LifeGear comes with a quick-release ergonomically molded ankle lock system and is made from durable steel construction and comes complete with non-skid floor stabilizers.
This time the price is two hundred eleven dollars Bill - this time is the right price higher or lower?

That looks to have a lot of moving parts to it, so I'll say the price is higher than $211.

Bill says higher this time - is it higher?
No you missed that one Bill but let's try for three out of four with this last prize - what is it please Paul.
Paul Boland: Drive home a realistic racing experience with the Thrustmaster Racing Wheel. This Ferrari 458 Spider Edition lets passionate drivers feel all the excitement the road and racing games alike supply. Easy usability and high-performance onboard technologies make this wheel the one to hold onto.
One eight-five this time Bill - is the right price higher or lower?

Bill says the actual price of that racing wheel is less than that - is he right?
How about that - all 4 of them were lower!
Not bad Bill - you got 3 out of 4 of those prices right so please step over there and punch out 3 holes and do not pull out the slip in the holes.

(pow...pow...pow)
The all-corner strats - I like it although you are going to be sick to your stomach if that fifty grand is in the top-right corner. - (I reach into the first hole and pull out the slip)
In this first hole, you punched out a decent amount.
(ding ding ding)
A thousand dollars for you Bill. Now this amount is literally right down the middle. There are 25 other holes on the board that are just as good or better and there are 24 that are worse. We have two more holes to look in if you want so what you think Bill - keep the grand or give it back and let us check hole number 2?

I'll give it up and try for the next hole please.

Bill is tossing away a thousand dollars just like that. (I toss the slip into the air and it falls next to the prop - I then reach into the second hole)
You had a one with three zeroes after it Bill and now
you have a one with only two zeroes after it but you have found one of the four Second Chance slips on the board! (audience claps)
Punch out another hole please Bill.

(pow)
That's a nice right hook you got there Bill! - (I reach into the top-right corner hole and pull out its slip)
To your one hundred we now add
five hundred. So after all that you took a slight step backwards from one thousand to a total of six hundred dollars. There are still 25 holes that would pay off more than six hundred so do you want to keep this amount or go for it - what do you say Bill?

Post by billmcdee on Nov 27, 2022 23:11:27 GMT -5
I'll give that back and go for the final hole.

We went from a thousand down to six hundred and now - (I reach into the final hole)
We are back where we started - I guess today was not the day to punch out those corner holes but a thousand dollars is nothing to sneeze at and who knows you might be able to tack on three zeroes to the end of that amount when you spin our Big Wheel a little later, sound good Bill?

You were a splendid contestant and I will see you shortly for the Showcase Showdown - (I shake Bill's hand as he leaves the stage - cue music and applause)
Bill got a bit of cash now and hopefully more later - as for what we will have - that will be another pricing game after these messages! - (fade to commercials)

We are back for more fun and excitement on our Million Dollar Spectacular but I see we have one vacancy down here in Contestant's Row so Paul, can you help me out with that?
Paul Boland: I certainly can Jack
Kenan Thompson - Come On Down! You are the next contestant on this Million Dollar Spectacular!
Well how about that, now we have a Thompson as host and as contestant! It is none other than the longest-tenured SNL cast member Kenan Thompson! - (audience applauds)
Kenan, what is it about Saturday Night Live that has kept you there so long when many others have come and gone from that show?
