Swap Meet is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting in 1991, this game is played for four prizes, each worth between $400 and $4,000.

Gameplay

The contestant is shown a base prize on the stage, but not its price. Three more prizes are then displayed behind Door 2. The contestant picks the item he believes has the same price as the base prize.

The prices of both items are then revealed. If they match exactly, the contestant wins all four prizes.

Foreign versions of Swap Meet

The version of Swap Meet played on France's Le Juste Prix used a slightly different format. After seeing the first prize, the contestant was shown four more prizes; to win, he had to pick the two prizes from the latter group whose prices totalled the price of the first prize.
