You are the first four contestants on the Jul Price is Right! And now, here's the star of the Jul Price is Right... YK!!
Thank you, Ayjo, for at least half-assed getting the intro right! And welcome, everyone, to episode 3 of the Jul Price is Right! We've got quite a treat in store for the first person to make it up on stage today, so let's get right to that first item up for bids!

And that catamaran will go to the one of you who bids nearest to the actual retail price without going over. Terra will start our bidding, followed by kruto, MM200, and finally Ninette. Bid!

Actual retail price of that catamaran... $2,130! Ninette is the winner! Come on up here on stage... That was an *excellent* bid! And you've won your way up here at a *most* opportune time... Ayjo, tell Ninette what she has a chance to win!

Isn't that great? I'll bet you're already glad you won your way up here! But that's not even close to the end. Ayjo, tell her what else she can win!

Yes! Two cars! But that's not all! For good measure, Ayjo, what else can she win?

Holy smokes! You're playing Triple Play! Now, you can't win one car, you can't win two cars, but you can win *all three* of those cars! Ayjo, tell us about that first one.
Originally posted by Ayjo
Ayjo: All right, YK. It's the Ford Libra! An affordable family car, comes with standard features, air bags, and rear window defroster! Yay for car jargon!
All right, now this game is very simple. See those two prices up there? Well, neither one is correct. However, you have to tell me which one you think is closer to the retail price of that car *without going over*. If you're correct, we'll move on to the second car. And if you're correct there, we'll move on to that beautiful Corvette! Now then, pick a price!

Eee!  I wasn't expecting that bid to be that good... 
Um... I don't think the rear window defroster can be worth that much, can it...? >>;;;
I'll choose $16460...

$16,460... Now, if we see a YES behind that that price tag, we're moving on to the second car. Show us a YES!
Excellent!
Actual price, $18,655. Now, you haven't won *yet*... Ayjo, tell us about that next car.
Originally posted by Ayjo
Ayjo: Got it. It's a 2011 Dodge Wyoming, since cars named after states are neat and all. Comes with more standard features, no luxury options, and... get this: POWER STEERING!!!!!!!11111one1
Now it gets harder. As you can see, you have three prices to choose from, but the same rules still apply. Which of those do you believe is nearest to the actual retail price of the car without going over?

$19,570 is your guess, and if there's a YES there, we're moving on to that Corvette!
YES!
It's $21,820. That's over $40,000 worth of cars, and there's still that last one to go! Ayjo!

Ayjo: It's a Chevrolet Corvette! I think that's who makes them, anyhow. If it's like, Ford, don't sue us! Comes with loads of luxury features. Anti-lock brakes, power steering again, dual airbags, a DVD player, a ... *rattles on for a few minutes* ...and leather seats! These luxury features themselves probably cost more than an entire economy car! We are talking one *hell* of a sweet ride here!
Well, we've made it to the last car... and now there are four prices. And *look* at them! Wow! Now, get *this* one right, and you're not only *a* winner, but the *biggest* winner thus far on Jul TPiR! Which of these prices is closest to the actual retail price without going over, Ninette?!

All right... You went with $42,790... if we see a YES there, you've won all three cars. You've become the biggest winner in Jul TPiR history so far. If we find a YES under that price tag...
Space. For dramatic purposes.
Hi there Ikachan!
You got it!!
*CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG WHOOP WHOOP WHOOOOOOOOOOOP!* (Big win klaxon.  )
It was $47,277, and you've won $87,752 in cars! Congratulations, Ninette! Our biggest winner ever! And you'll be back to spin the big wheel later, so your winning ways may not be over yet!
Ayjo! After all that excitement, we need another contestant!

And here comes Unnamed Models #2 and 3 with our next item up for bids!

We'll start the bidding with jamosup, followed by Terra, krutomisi, and finally MM200.

Actual retail price... $800! MM200's OMG SATANIC bid wins! Now follow me back to the big doors, and... here's what you can win!
Originally posted by Ayjo
Ayjo: A set of golf clubs, a collection of video games, and a big screen TV!
First, a set of golf clubs from "No Ifs, Ands, Or Putts", leader in stupid names among sporting goods manufacturers for over 25 years! Includes... uh, golf clubs. I don't play golf. There may or may not be a nine-iron in here. And a putter. Sorry, that's all I know about golf.
Second, a collection of game systems! An XBox 360, a Playstation 3, a Wii, and loads of games for each. Like, ten or so. Probably all licensed crap, because god forbid we should give away anything *nice*. This description seems somehow familiar!
Finally, a big screen high-definition TV! According to my notes, it's "35". But 35 *what*? Inches? Centimeters? Feet? ...whoa. That would be one huge TV, wouldn't it? No brand listed, because we picked it up at some department store.
And your game is One Wrong Price. Now, we have prices listed for each of those prizes... but one of them is *wrong*. If you can pick correctly the "One Wrong Price", you win all three of those prizes. Which do you believe it is? Is it the golf clubs, at $1,866, the games at $1,910, or the TV at $2,225?

Running these numbers through my head, gimme a tic.
(VGames= 350 600 950 and 30*50 to 1500...implying 30 games at $50 each is 1500, and the price of systems as it is would mean...)
(though, $1910 seems rather stable. Wii=250, X360=300, PS3=350, that's 900. 1010 / 30 is...not stable.)
(Golf clubs...hell if I know. The last time I ever messed with any was what, '02? Only a professional would pay this much.)
(And the TV seems somewhat believable, though I wouldn't pay near that much, I am such a cheapout)
I'm thinking the VIDEO GAMES price is wrong, though you could have cheaped out with what games you acquired for each of the systems. Or did you...

All right, you think the games are priced incorrectly... now, if the price of that gaming package is *anything* other than $1,910, you're a winner... Show us the right price!
You're a winner! They're actually $2,550!
And the other two were indeed correctly priced. Congratulations, MM!
Now, Ayjo, we've played two pricing games, we've had two winners. We're on our way to a perfect first half! But we'll need another contestant to help us out. Who've you got?
Originally posted by Ayjo
Ayjo: I've got a girl here who's already been on the show once, and won our very first pricing game! A special "welcome back" to... Illumina! Come on down! You're the next contestant on the Jul Price is Right!
Our next item up for bids is...
Originally posted by Ayjo
Ayjo: Fun skiing and snowboarding equipment! Two pairs of skis and a snowboard, as well as two helmets, and things like knee and elbow pads. Perfect for some winter fun, and all made by Snowshoe!
Illumina gets the first bid, followed by jamosup, then Terra, then krutomisi.
