Under what credit does the person who wrangles the prizes get at the end of a show?

I'm gonna guess "Production Assistant."

"Prize Coordinator," followed by the company with which the show does business.

Sometimes it was a staffer working for the production company. G-T had a guy named Walter Kresel, replaced by a guy named Ed Jubert, as prize coordinator for nighttime Price Is Right. I don't know that either received a credit.

Someone here once posted, and I hope I'm phrasing this right, that most of the trips are "left overs" from companies who can't sell the seats on a certain vacation package so it's made available to the game shows. Again someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I've always wondered what is the pennies on the dollar cost to the producers/network on a prize, versus what the fair market value is.
