Come On Down! Get a Piece of The Price Is Right!
Come on down! You’re the next contestant to purchase part of the set to the Price Is Right!
Could you imagine owning part of the set of The Price Is Right. I would imagine you would need a living room the size of a warehouse, but hey, why not? Send your wife through the doors and caller her a “Barker Beauty.”
My main hope is that they get rid of all of the set in the name of charity and put up a new one that brings the show from the
60s and 70s into at least the late 80s.
My New Gal Cindy from CBS has more.
