I'm on Christmas vacation this week and while channel surfing I stopped on The Price is Right. The game was simple, they gave three items: a couch, a life size Santa Claus and Sleigh, and a Samsung 56 inch DLP TV and the contestant had to pick the one that was the most expensive.
What would you have picked?
Knowing the extravagant mark up of furniture, I would have gone for the couch. But, no -- they claim she was right and it was the TV at a whopping $3299!! I had to snap a picture with my IPhone as I thought no one who knows technology would believe this one:
This TV has a list price on Amazon of $1499 but sells for $1059. How in the world did they come up with that price? The only thing I can possible figure is this was from last Christmas?? Was the TV that much last year? If DLP TV's have dropped 50% in a year that's amazing (not that I'd recommend a DLP TV to anyone).
