Why doesn't it matter that you are closer to the correct price of an item on Price is Right Even if you go over as opposed to being closest but Under? Is there any real reason besides an arbitrary rule?

Because if you overbid, then you've paid too much. And if you've overpaid, then the price obviously wasn't right...

overbidding can be done with absolutely no knowledge of the value of a showcase,so therefore deserves no reward...however..having some general knowledge of the value of things and attempting to guess their value without going over it is a challenge..so achieving this goal deserves the reward ... the Whole concept of the Show is based on knowledge of the suggested retail price of all items displayed throughout the show

I used to wonder the same thing. But, it's just the rules of the show, i.e., whoever is the closest without going over.

It not an arbitrary rule, it is a rule set by the producers of the show.

Paying more than an item is worth is not a good idea. That is why it was made a rule.

maybe becuz what if in the showcase showdown they are both equally away and one person is above the price and one is below. maybe thats why becuz they dont wanna have to go into a tiebreaker. isnt it sad that bob barkers retiring.
:(
