No. *buzz* We were looking for John Legend. So you drop.  *Instant Bargain cue*
Ok, NOW it's time for the Instant Bargain, unless there's a miscount here. Since Raymond drops, he cannot participate in this bargain sale, so this one's for Bill and Nels. Gentlemen, feast your eyes...on this!
*prize cue*

*laughter*
Well, a guy's gotta give up his passions for certain things eventually. Hey I just realized, if you guys buy the prize now, it'll not only knock you off of the lead, it'll put you in last place. Ok, tell you what I'll do. Offer's still up to either one of you, but I'll knock the price down to $5, you'd be tied for second place. I'll even throw in $500 in cash for games. Still up for it? Going once...Going twice....

*buzz buzz* No sale. I guess $500 wouldn't have been enough for the games. *scattered laughter* Still a tie for first and $15 for third. And I have another set of questions for you all.  And away we go! By the way...questions are now worth $10 a piece!Which is the main substance used to make a crayon?

Yes...this is for the lead. *scattered laughter* But lead is incorrect, it's wax. You drop $10.  Down to $5. Let's try again.“You’re gonna need a bigger boat” originated in what movie?

100 meter. You drop $10.  *gavel beats*
Well, that gavel means that it's auction time around here. And well...Raymond that $5 may not help you here, but you can still play in the auction. Here's how this will work:
You'll all PM me a bid as to how much your bid will be on a prize. I'll announce the highest bid, and anyone can give me a higher bid at any point, and the prize of course will go to the highest bidder.
BUT! If we use the scores we have right now, of course it'd be too easy, Bill can bid $20 and Nels can win with a $21 bid. So we'll make this interesting in just a moment, but first...here's the prize you three will bid on!
*prize cue*
Alexis: You’ve never seen a computer like this before. With a strikingly thin design made possible by the Apple M1 chip. An immersive 24-inch 4.5K Retina display with over a billion colors that gives you the big picture in stunning detail. This computer normally sells for...
Two Thousand four hundred sixty one dollars!
*cheers*
Alright, our auction is now in session! Opening bid starts at $1, gentlemen please PM your bids privately now as to what your bid is going to be! |

And no higher sale. The minimum bid takes it, so everyone gets the computer for $5! *applause, ding*  Raymond drops to $0, putting him at a disadvantage going into round 2, Bill rests at $15, and Nels is in the lead with $35! Everyone has a prize to their name, but it's money they need to stay in the game. We'll take a break and come back with $15 questions in a bit, stay tuned!*theme, applause* *fade to commercial* |

And we're back! Few theater students in audience: Thank you, back! *laughter, applause* They're all nerds. *more laughter* Time to start another round of Sale: This time fellas we're dealing with $15 questions, Raymond is goose-egged from the auction and Nels leads with $35. Time to start bank-building with question numero uno:What is the root of all evil?
