Sale of The Century | Tom/Jas/Jeff (11/15/1984)

To wrap up my tribute to Jim Perry here's a late 1984 NBC episode of Sale of The Century
Our returning Champion Jeff has already won $17,000 in cash and prizes and has won 4 prizes off The Winner's Board will he continue to win? also a there's a home viewer contest involving $1 bills
Note: there are Tracking issues toward the end of the video

Tom Gauer won $7700 on Wheel of Fortune in the late 80s/early 90s; then in 1993 he won over $53,000 in prizes on Caesars Challenge (including a Chevrolet S10 Blazer).

Tom Gauer is my uncle. He was also on Pyramid back in 1979.

As much as Summer Bartholomew is my all-time favorite, I feel bad for Lee Menning. She only got to operate the Winner's Board for a few weeks.

[@eltonjohn3236]

I’m surprised she left television after $ale went off the air

[@mitchellries256]

I like Lee as well but (correct me if I am wrong ) she left to take care of her newly born child didn't she?

[@mpiatt121674]

I miss this show

[@kellierogers1559]

This was the first time I ever saw someone go into the negative on SOTC!! haha goodness I don't think the show was prepared for this!! Awesome!

[@Tubewings]

+Kellie Rogers They actually don't go below zero. If a contestant gets a question wrong, and they have less than five dollars, their score simply reads zero.

[@megamanj2004X]

+Kellie Rogers although on the original 1969-74 version, if any players (or in the later episodes of that version with couples) had zero or under they were eliminated from the game.

[@JoeyLamontagne]

I think because it was the Speed Round, they wouldn't just lock her out. I don't what would happen if it was during the other rounds (they could've been eliminated then)

[@Tubewings]

If a person goes to zero in this version of the "Sale", they aren't eliminated from the game.

[@JohnMossSF]

0:13 That was a pretty cool cane trick by David.

[@Tubewings]

13:34; Rare instance in Sale history.

[@aaronbaker5887]

Did anyone notice the asterisk from the Price Is Right?!

[@veggieoilerfan2940]

That’s amazing that Jas won $844 in prizes when she finished the game with a $0 score.

[@johnnysama]

The first fame game: What the heck was the answer? That sounds rather unfamiliar to me.

[@Digifangsn]

+johnnysama Trivia Pursit

[@johnnysama]

+Digifangsn Oh. Less than a decade before it too became a game show. :) Thanks.

[@blindsportslover]

How long did the shopping format last on this series? Also, I'd like a clarification. Marc won the entire lot before the cash jackpot and Barbara won the entire lot when the CJ was a prize itself? Thanks. It seemed like the syndicated series had the shopping format last longer.

[@Tubewings]

The syndicated shopping format only lasted about 10 months (with a four month break during the summer), while the daytime format lasted a little over a year.

[@digiblader1]

Must be one of the few times a contestant goes to zero--as Jas actually went below zero in the Speed Round.. and they blacked out her score.

[@VarietyinTVandVHS]

Did anyone ever win any money in that Home Viewer's contest?

[@YankeePat94]

When was Summer Bartholomew's first episode?

[@Tubewings]

New Year's Eve 1984.

[@mitchellries256]

Correct me if I am wrong but Lee Manning left shortly after this episode because of her newly born baby?

[@Tubewings]

This is from 1984, not '85.

[@Digifangsn]

+Tubewings oops

[@BudSchnelker]

They used the Trivial Pursuit question in another episode. I've never seen a game show recycle questions.

[@jackbusby9602]

I quit watching JEOPARDY about 5 or 6 years ago, but they used to do it all the time.

Tim Holleran encountered the question of who was President when the stock market crashed twice!
