Game shows overdue for a remake
SuperMatch93:
One thing I liked in the 1969 episodes of Sale that turned up a while back was the Open Sale round, where everyone had a chance to spend a few bucks on some smaller gifts. I think that remedies the "game discourages people from playing" issue brought up earlier since everyone gets the chance to take home something more than Lots Of Love.

I think you know what I meant.

I too think it's a little charitable to suggest the Instant Bargains were immune from offering the usual game show suspects. When the brass mirror or Catalina sportswear comes up, I'm buzzing in for the chance at a $ale Surprise over the actual item.

That's fair. A rewatch might be in order but I'm willing to eat crow.

Or Jim just may reach into one of pockets and add some Benjamins to tempt the contestant.
Serious question, did Jim know which IBs had $ale surprises?
