This game takes place in a market for used cars. Sellers are selling a 2005 Ford Freebird. They could be worth anything from $6.000 to $10,000 depending on the quality of the car. All cars look the same to the buyer, despite the quality differences. No dents, no sputtering, they all feel fine, but some have been well maintained and be worth the top of that price range while others were neglected and nobody should pay above the bottom of that range, while others will be at various points in between. The buyers' problem is that they have no way of telling the underlying quality of the cars. The cars are worth $6,000, $7,000, $8,000, $9,000 or $10,000, each with equal (20%) probability. On the other hand, the sellers know the true value of the car.
