I know for a fact that the AIWA cassette player was not 99 dollars...
First, they screwed up on 4 or 5 answers. We didn't.
Second, I really miss real stores. I'm a huge internet shopper, but that started after they closed a whole lot of stores and all started selling the exact same thing in each one -- and nothing in my size.

Me Too! Let’s start a club!!😁
I thought it was supposed to be the most expensive items? I picked out the right ones and they said they actually were the most expensive and I got them wrong
Same here
Terrible!
You got 5 out of 10
You look a little lost, like you got your patterns mixed up. Better luck next time!

Missed #7....Can't believe watermelon was more expensive than steak 😆
They stacked the deck. It was a whole, probably 10lb watermelon v 1lb of round steak or 1lb out of a 3lb container of potato salad.
😂🤣
3/10…wow, I really stunk up the joint in here
#5?
4/10
4/10! 😫
5 of 10 😙
I never heard of half of those companies and stores. E.J. Korvette, Highland, Dominick's, Fretter, and Goldblatt's. And I really miss Montgomery Wards, along with Sears, K-Mart before they merged, and Woolworth's. We didn't have Woolco, which was a division of Woolworth's.
Korvette was in NY. I thought they were all over.

Casio Rap Keyboard
Incorrect! It was $99! The other stuff was $69.88 and $44.88!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm quite sure that $99 IS more than either $69.88 or $44.88.

They're saying that your choice was wrong, or incorrect, the Casio Keyboard was $99.00, and the other stuff was cheaper. They did it to me too.
That's the thing - I *did* choose the keyboard for that question!
Ouch!!!! Inly 3 right
10/10 Too easy. Next....
I probably bought every item at one time or another. We called it an IRONING BOARD.
