Come On Down!
My friends, the last challenge I handed down was not a challenge at all. My pathetic attempts to fool you were for naught. If this was a game show, it would have gone bankrupt because almost all of you savvy shoppers guessed correctly. All the prizes and money would have been given out on the first round and my butt unceremoniously dumped as emcee. I would at this very moment be begging for another job as an extra on an F/X television show.
So this time, let’s make it a bit more challenging, shall we?
We are going to play One Bid, and the contestant who guesses the number closest to the regular retail price without going over wins! Only one guess per contestant, please!
Glinda, what do I win, you may ask? Well, for now, it is just bragging rights. We’re big on bragging rights around here, if you haven’t already noticed.
But let’s see just how good you are this time.
(cue cheesy music, picture a model with perfectly manicured fingers holding this on a hanger, gesturing the way only Price is Right models who were taught at the Price is Right School of Showmanship can)
This all cotton tee is available in girl’s sizes 2-10, and is manufactured by someone who will remain nameless, as you can Google the company and that would be cheating. Not that I don’t trust you, it’s that gal I don’t trust. Yeah, you know who you are. Don’t try and look all innocent.
Now, take your place on Contestant’s Row and let’s begin!
I have no idea to whom you could be referring, and on the advice of counsel I have no further comment at this time.
Except: I don’t care WHAT they charge for that thing; anyone who would take money for it should face charges. It’s hideous. It’s like…a formerly repressed Marseilles sailor decided to come out of the closet and make a living as one of Gwen Stefani’s backup dancers.
My best guess: L.A.M.B. @ $125.
Strategy tells me to wait until everyone else bids and then go with either $1 or $1 over the highest bid, but I hate it when people do that so I can’t. It looks kind of Target-y, but then it could be a big name maker. Oh…what to do? What to do? I will go with…ummmm… $89
I’m trying to make it difficult, I’m not worried about the cuteness or lack thereof!
$15.00
The Annalucia will say, twenty-five dollars, and overpriced at that by at least twenty-two-dollars and ninety-nine cents.
She has no idea who is the manufacturer, but he should be ashamed of himself.
$50 because of the cherry bling and sequiny trim appeal to the 6 to 10 year olds.
I will guess $30
I agree with the recriminations being heaped on this fugly little garment of doom, and will go with my gut reaction of $45 and seriously overpriced at that.
Also, I think raincoaster has it right about the market for this one. That’s the only person I can think of who would wear this with a straight(ish) face.
(sits back to see just how far wrong a Twistie can be)
Definitely a hideous garment, although probably very appealing to little girls. My gut tells me $24.99.
Wow, is that bad. I am going to go with $22.99.
Hmmm, I am going to go with $49.99.
I’ll bid $79.99 although I am probably bidding way below. It’s not worth it but I am sure it’s very overpriced. For a little girl? Or did I read that wrong. Geesh…..
I’m going with $42. Based on the maker’s tag being interesting in shape and size and *not* seamed into the neck, and that the cherries look appliqued rather than being made out of the heat-fused bling.
$55.
And that’s my final offer.
I think it’s cute, in a blingy sort of way–I only have boys, so what do I know?
My guess is $39.99
What’s with the wierd frilly sleeves? This looks like something a berserk mime would wear.
Eh, I’m guessing 59.95 for the same reasons as rascoagogo gave. Strangely, it does look well made.
