Prices presented in the show are presented without question. At no point does anyone question their absurdity.

I've watched The Price is Right since the 80s and their prices have always been high. I don't know if that's the price in California or if their using the MSRP or something else but their high prices is not a new thing.

The show uses MSRP for all the items. There was a guy who ended up memorizing them all and would yell the correct answers from the audience.
