ALL SPOTs have a hit or MISS ....depends on the LUCK of the show,
AND
the most important element: HOW SMART the contestant with the LAST bid plays it out
>When I was on: the bikes I won were valued (some thing like $850?) or so,
and the "BID WINDOW" was 501 - 1050 ( or some thing like that)...
meaning the guy (or girl) bid 500. and the other person bid (?)some thing like 1050...
so if I went w/ my "lucky number" or a random bid of 625 I gave the
person that said $500 (UP TO) 624, if my bid would have been 1051 I had the ceiling
on the max amount of the prize...
Usually people just have fun and take a Guess on the bid...
BUT I had last bid, and I said (501) that meant I snubbed out the 500 $ bid,
and had all the way up to 1050 ( or something) .. .. there is NO REASON if the
person plays the way you should the LAST bidder can't get up on stage...
BUT,
when you are there , just having fun and (sadly) people "feel sorry" for some one
like if some one bids, 2000 ( they obviously over), the next bid is 650, and the next
bid is 651, *SOME TIMES* the last bidder who CLEARLY can GET on stage by
JUST SAYING 652, will take the HIGher road and say......885 . . .leaving a "bid window"
of over $200. and the (651) walks up and makes history... or at least tries to !!
