eBay Guess

ebay-guess

This is a take on something Jay Leno has done on the Tonight Show: Download pictures of unusual (but not inappropriate) items from eBay. Make note of the price, but don’t show that on the screen.

Show a picture of an item for sale and list a price out to one side. Ask the audience to guess if they think the item sold for LESS than or MORE than the price you have listed, or DID NOT SELL. After they’ve guessed, you can reveal the answers over the mic or on a separate “slide”.

Here are some to get you going.
