Let's Play Even More: The Price is Just OK!
8Welcome back to Act 3 of “The Price is Just OK”
A thinking person’s challenge for mediocre minds.
Two threads down and a new day dawns, so I’m kicking off one last (maybe? probably?) clean thread.
Rules below for those just tuning in.
The challenge will be a guessing game for the masses. For each* item listed today, you (Yes, you!) will have more chances at $10 coupons to waste…er spend on the item of your choice in our 10th year.
The rules for the game are simple: For every* product listed following this post, you will have 5 minutes to guess how many of that item will sell during the event. That is, how many can we get rid of before 12am EDT? You can guess at any time in the first 5 minutes the item is available. If you want to rethink your first guess, you can guess a second time in that 5-minute window, but only two guesses maximum per item, and edits will disqualify you for that item.
Your objective is to get as close to the total sold as possible without going over. The closest guesses at the end of the day will receive coupons. To keep from clogging up every product thread with guesses, please, post them within this topic. When a new product is listed, put the name of the product (copied from the product offer) and your guess. If someone has already created a comment for that product, please use the reply option to put your own guess there. No need to say “PIJO” since that’s all this thread is about. If you see “PIJO” in a product thread, please point that person here for this update.
Notes gleaned from the first day:
As always, guesses after the first 5 minutes will be ignored (yes we have timecodes for offers and your guesses), and if you guess more than twice we’ll still only take the second guess, which must also be inside the 5-minute window.
If anyone hits the number dead-on, their prize will be doubled (two $10 coupons) and the person with the most winning guesses (if anyone gets more than one) will receive an additional prize (TBD)!
Every product (with players) will have a winner and the same person can win more than once.
Ties will go to both players, but only two, so if it’s 3 or more people it’ll still only go to the first two people with that number.
Once again, keep an eye here for further clarification, sometimes things change.
*No guesses on IRKs. Those aren’t “products” and aren’t eligible for this game.
YOU are still the contestant! Come on down!

I hope you’re all in for an exciting day two. Great turnout for the first day with more than 1000 guesses across the 60 valid offers. As previously stated, I won’t be able to get you official counts until after the event so winners will (hopefully) be announced closer to the end of the week. Good luck!
@ExtraMedium Good luck to you having to go through this mess. Lol
@ExtraMedium @heartny So is the count stopped now for yesterday’s guesses on things that continue to be for sale through today?
@ExtraMedium I might be persuaded to put together a spreadsheet of guess with the right incentive
Been wondering all yesterday - is the banner art yours?
@heartny @Kyeh Nope. The count will continue until the items are no longer sold (just under 24 more hours), but I wouldn’t expect more than 1-2 extra sales of most of yesterday’s offers, so if you want to start searching for winners, feel free.
I hope to list the number sold, number of valid (qualifying) guesses, and name+guess of the winner for each item when I make the announcement. It’ll be a fairly big post, but it should be a fun way to share the results. I’ll also put the coupon code in that post, but the code will only work for the winners (by design).
@ExtraMedium @heartny Oh! So I was guessing correctly at first but then changed it thinking it was for yesterday’s sales only. Phooey!
@speediedelivery The banner art is not my work. @Thumperchick knows who is responsible for “My Little Irk
”
@Kyeh I’m sorry for any confusion with the end time. I should have been more clear that it ends at 12 AM EDT following day two. I hope it didn’t throw your guess too far off. As I said, unless people start buying more to push the numbers around and try to win more (which would be silly given the price of the product to the value of the reward), I don’t think it will shift things too far from where they already landed.
@ExtraMedium I suppose it probably wouldn’t have made a huge difference either way; there were just some things that went up close to midnight that I thought “no way are they going sell a bunch more today!”
@speediedelivery Oh wait! Did you mean the game banner? If yes, then yes. I threw that together on Friday while fleshing out the concept. Hope you like it.
Fun fact I learned during the creation of that image, the game Grand Theft Auto uses the same font as The Price Is Right. The more you know.
@ExtraMedium I was thinking the trolls looked like your work. I do like the one for this game too. Never would have guessed the fonts were the same. Makes today a good day
@ExtraMedium @speediedelivery
@jenniferhebden is the person who created that.
@ExtraMedium @Kyeh
Well now all my guesses are wrong lol
