Sale of the Century (1983)

- My second of five TV game shows (so far) was "Sale of the Century," hosted by Jim Perry in 1983. The returning champion was Richard Heft, who would win the huge jackpot in the next show. Later saw him on "Jeopardy," and he was ruthless. Why did I have to go against him? Curses! :) At least I beat Gail. Sorry for the poor audio synch. This has gone through several format changes since originally taped on good old VHS.

Thank you. I always enjoy seeing an early episode of Sale (even a partial one).
Thanks for posting this. I wish they had kept the rainbow buzzers throughout the whole show's run. When the changed the bonus game, it kind of defeated the point of SOTC. The winner's big monery board was one thing, but the final format was ridiculous and complelely contrary to the concept of the game!
Rest In Peace Jim Perry
David, thanks for providing us one of the rare 1983 episodes of $ale. Do you have the original tape this was originally recorded on? Also, for this version was it $600 that bought all of the prizes and the cash jackpot?
This is a nice quality video of a 1983 episode of Sale of the Century!
If you want to, you probably can. Maybe you ought to start with the last conversion that has the audio in sync. Just suggestions. I was asking because I wasn't born in 1983 but love the $ale, and $600 was the next logical step ($335 for the boat, $420 for the car, $510 for the cash jackpot, $600? for everything)
This was always one of my favorite shows as a kid, and it's great to see an early episode! Just curious, when in 1983 did this air?
For those who know their NBC, how long was it before they switched from "Just Watch Us Now" to "Be There"?
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, had to keep things to 10 minutes, and I went up in flames near the end. Richard went on a tear and was helped by judges who gave him credit for what I thought was a wrong answer. I wrote to NBC afterward and they said since Richard won by about 30 my protest was moot. I'm sure he would have won anyway, but at the time of the controversy I was still very much in the game, down by just a couple or so questions. No sour grapes. Richard was impressive.
Lee Menning: March 1983 to December 1984. When Summer Bartholomew initially joined, only one day remained of 1984 before it became 1985.
Allen Ludden had passed away long before NBC started doing these versions of the Network ID bumpers
July 12, 1983. Thanks for viewing and asking.
Yes, I have the original tape. Are you asking because you think I should try again on a DVD which will have better-synched audio? For Richard, $510 is what he needed to win the $81K and he ended my show with $483. Didn't hear of any magical $600 goal.
No problem, most of the info I shared is available online and it's pretty much common knowledge among game show fanatics. I myself like watching game shows but I'm not really a fanatic, I don't do tape trading or anything like that.
Just so you know, the 1985 syndicated version of $ale is on GSN. Just finished running 8 episodes of it this morning.
did they get both Daytime and Syndicated episodes (I forget which version Alic e "i'm not buying Anything" Conkright was on
Alice was on the syndicated version (and Mark DeCarlo was winning during her run on the daytime version).
oh wow. that's cool
Please let me know if that episode of SALE OF THE CENTURY would be airing on GSN [Game Show Network] which is coming in Mid-July of 2010.
Dorothy Lyman was on AMC and Mama's Family by 1983.
The dulcet tones of Danny Dark in the beginning of this vid!
Dadicks, do you perhaps have an episode of SOtC with Warren Cheung/Chung? One of the local morning shows (Drew and Mike in the Morning) uses the SOtC theme and Jay Stewart saying "One of these contestants could win a large-screen TV, a Roswell lithograph, an emerald ring, or a trip to Puerto Rico!" Hopefully GSN and Mr. Moonves can come to logical conclusions and air Scrabble and $ale! God bless America and Deutschland uber Alles!
Thanks for the info, nickle!
I loved this show...
Good idea. I'll try again when I find a guy who can do this on the cheap.
What happened to the full version of this episode you posted some time back?
I liked this show.
If/when I redub the show with better audio synch I'll post the full episode.
Here the buzzer thing was different. They changed it in the second season. I don't know why.
I swear I have seen the rainbow buzzer eps usa. Everyone says the syndicated version only ran on there but sandy's car win had the USA logo at the bottom and I vaguely remember the early buzzers being on TV and I was born in 1987 so it had to be in reruns.
Jon McCaleb Well, Sandy's car win was a syndicated episode...
Sorry about that, I didn't mean to do anything like that.
Um I can say with 100 percent that Sale of the Century will NOT be airing on GSN any time soon; Freemantle Media which owns the episodes of this show and Scrabble has always had the asking price for GSN to rerun both shows(even a season) too high or GSN just hasn't wanted to negotiate with them(I've heard and read both reasons as to why Sale has never run on GSN). Anyway, I would seriously doubt that Sale is going to be on GSN any time soon.
Go Richard Hefe!
ooph. Really wanted to watch this but that out of sync audio drives me nuts!
Got dinged by RUclips after the SOTC lawyers had it pulled. Bummer. Thanks for asking.
Hey where's Sally Julian (the original hostess)?
the competor dave dickstein was just on a video as the youngest contestant on Name That Tune
why so many format changes with the show anyway
largest collection of business cards? who collects those?
Thanks for your comments, brainman!
Can you upload the whole episode?
Was Richard Heft the first player to win the Cash Jackpot, or did somebody win it before him?
If he was the first, I can pinpoint when exactly they started using the Cash Jackpot on "Sale".
Well, even when the show debuts, there still might be a few bugs with the format (like only one money card in the Fame Game, the final three questions, Sally Julian). Other times, the producers want to shake the game up a bit (like Sale Surprises, the Winners Board, Instant Cash, etc.).
Can you please do something about the entire episode of "$ale of the Century"??
Only if FremantleMedia Australia's share of the series reverts back to Hasbro, too (in the case of Scrabble).
My parents had that juicer.
Sale of the century
@SaleGuy Danny Dark was the Voice of Superman on the Many Seasons of "SuperFriends".
Did you win?
Jay Pagliaro Lost to a multi-day champion who eventually won the jackpot. Came in second though. :-)
David Dickstein No shame in that!
@jsrosa1282 Sally was gone by March of 1983 (Thank every deity in the universe).
Why did u block me???
fORGET IT, IF nbc DOES THAT, THEN THEY'D have to air CC and you know how they with that after 21 years,
Anybody know when they had the buzzers moved to the top of the podium as seen here?
You still have that "collection" of yours? If they're worth enough of money, you could retire off of them.
That's Allen Ludden's voice at the beginning.

@wyo20 I wouldn't exactly call a 1983 Cadillac Eldorado a piece of junk.
Now, a 1983 Cadillac Cimarron on the other hand...THAT'S a piece of junk.
Well, you'll get your wish April 1, 2013
26,000 for a big ole piece of junk!!!!
