The Price Is Retro

If this is your first time playing Price Is Retro, here’s how we play. I’m going to list off 4 or 5 games and everyone has to guess how much the lot is worth in total. Whoever is closest to the actual value wins that round! Everyone has a list and everyone guesses on each other's list. At the end, the player that won the most rounds wins the episode! But watch out for the rampage team!
Robot - Deus Guess Machina - He averages all of our guesses together for his own guess
Dinosaur - Leonard - adds up original costs, retail value
Ghost - Polterguest - always guesses 300
