Barker's Bargain Bar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barker's Bargain Bar is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on April 22, 1980, it is played for two four-digit prizes, usually valued between $1,000 and $5,000.

[edit] Gameplay

The contestant is shown two prizes, each bearing prices marked below their actual retail prices. The contestant must determine which prize is marked further below its actual price to win both prizes.

[edit] Trivia

• Barker's Bargain Bar is one of three games whose title bears host Bob Barker's name, the other two being Barker's Marker$ and Trader Bob.
• Barker's Bargain Bar seems to be more prone to breakdowns than any other pricing game; it has been played several times over the years with most or all of its electronics not working. On playings where the trilons do not function properly, the Barker's Beauties turn them by hand.
• On the British versions of The Price Is Right, the game has been called Bruce's Bargain Bar, Joe's Bargain Bar and simply Bargain Bar.
