According to TV.com, the minimum retail value of a prize with a gold star on it during the shopping era of \"Wheel of Fortune\" was $1,000, but I was wonder it was more than $1,000, does anyone know?

http://gscentral.net/wof/1985.htm\'>Here\'s an episode from 1985 that has a gold star on a truck.  I think that is worth more than $1,000.  Is that what you were asking?

I think we can safely say that the minimums were more than the top dollar for the match- so daytime prizes with good stars exceeded $2k and nighttime gold stars exceeded $5k.
Fact To Make You Feel Old: Just about every contestant who appears in a Price is Right Teen Week episode from here on out has only known a world where Drew Carey has been the host.

I thought gold stars were things that you could buy in the bonus round, not necessarily the most expensive thing in the showcase.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

They definitely had star prizes less than $2k/$5k...I\'ve even seen a few star prizes on the early days of the nighttime version that were under $1k.
