[SaleGuy]

Chip, Naomi, thank you, not get off my goddamn stage!

[AaronBruceLadner]

@SaleGuy YOU STOLE THAT LINE FROM STEVE WILKOS!!!!

[WhatsAYak]

John really got around...he was also a contestant on Now You See It, Liar's Club, The $25K Pyramid, and Let's Go Back.

[tpir1972]

What was the correct answer to that alexander haig question ?

[tpir1972]

$12,000 FOR THAT RIO TRIP? wow

[erikdraven1731]

@tpir1972 For 26 days in South America, I should think so.

[LyricalGangsta09]

I'm pretty sure John's faces make my life hahaha

[KidsTVCentral]

50 plus 45 equal 95. Now that is a math problem ending

[blozier2006]

Jim Perry: RIGHT!!!

[catbeast2007]

John Goss earned $156,339 fair & square. One of the best not only Sale Of The Century champs, but also one of the best game show champs ever.

[nextbarker]

Is John the second player in SOTC history to win everything?

[nextbarker]

John gotten the required $750 to win everything in his bank ON THE NOSE, I don't recall that ever happening.

[gameshowluvr86]

RRRIGHT!!!! ;-)

[jeprice08]

I love it when John Goss goes "Oh my God!" and the audience and Jim Perry goes wild! This is what I'm talking about! Suspense! You don't know what's going to happen until it happens and when it gets there, BAM, you can't believe it! No wonder this is my favorite game show of all time!

[Lbertucci4132]

I hope Jim told John Goss to Look over his shoulder at the Cash Jackpot As the sign drops over him

[natemarroquin]

Mitt, I love those sirens with the big winners. Where can I find a clean copy of the sirens & bells for the big wins?

[godgundam10]

Hmm. I'm actually working on a fan video for Sale. Mitt I have two things I need to ask you. How big was the prize gallery? And two, can you get me a clean copy of the theme song used the later years as an MP3?

[palmercomm]

I'd like that too. I could give it to the TVPMM.

[Tubewings]

I am SO glad that they changed the shopping rules in the Syndicated version so that they only way to win the Cash Jackpot was to amass $750 to buy the lot and the money. In the Daytime version, you could buy the Cash Jackpot before buying the lot and everything. Only ONE player, Barbara Phillips, bought everything and the jackpot, while everyone else chickened out and bought the Jackpot.

[Tubewings]

Including Bill Fogel (who won his Jackpot-clinching game with $145), who needed only $39...THIRTY-NINE DOLLARS...to win $62,000 plus all the prizes on the stage. Not to mention David Rogers, who won the $109,000 Cash Jackpot (I wouldn't mind that, but I would have gone on to try for $110,000 and the prizes).

[WhatsAYak]

And therein lied the prob w/offering the cash jackpot as a stand-alone prize: most players, as it turned out, weren't willing to risk it for prizes that, more often than not, totaled less than the value of the CJ!

[fieldsfan336]

Great episode, and perfect quality too!

[TVLubber]

John must be the only contestant to actually get the $750 needed on the nose.

[estestim]

love that Sound effect it's got to be a telephone

[jemerson722]

@estestim : The ring-in sound effect was used as a telephone ring on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"

[whirliebird74]

I remember watching this exact episode when it aired in reruns on USA. He was the first syndicated lot winner.

Helaine Lowey (spelling?) won the lot 14 shows later for a $64,000 jackpot.

Alice Conkright (who didn't buy a single instant bargain) won 27 shows later for a $77,000 jackpot.

The last syndicated lot winner (before SotC went to the Winners' Board format) was Tim Holleran (from Black Rock, CT) who won a $90,000 cash jackpot.

[mittdawson]

wow, that's good stuff, thanks!

[nextbarker]

How many big winners did the syndicated version of Sale have with the shopping format?

[nextbarker]

You have any other big wins from Sale of the Century?

[nextbarker]

Do you have Helanie Lowry's last match?

[mittdawson]

no, I'm sorry, I do not.

[dalabaso428]

Yeah, I want TEMPTATION: The New Sale of the Century back. I think it's best the returning champion's goal should be at least $2,000 or more instead of the 5-day winning limit. But wait until September of next year (2009).

[estestim]

yeah right !!! when its cancelled, it's cancelled unless it's on GSN or lifetime LOL!

[TVLubber]

Bad idea!

[TVLubber]

Is John Goss the only big winner on SOTC to get the exact amount of money needed to win the whole kit and caboodle?

[jameshagan75]

Jim Perry ever the gentleman on Sale Of The Century!

[mittdawson]

on and off stage...a good egg

[megamanj2004X]

You never saw this much excitement like on "Temptation," the cheap-@$* "Sale of the Century."

CLASSIC SALE RULED!

[TVLubber]

Yeah. Temptation should've raised the stakes. Why COULDN'T they?

[megamanj2004X]

Because Freemantle is a tight-wad, dishonest GS company.

And thanks to Freemantle we're not seeing reruns of either Scrabble or '80s Sale for that matter.

[TVLubber]

They weren't "tight-wad" with Million Dollar Password.

[megamanj2004X]

It's just weird how they're not so cheap w/ TPiR, Family Feud, and MD Password, but cheap w/ Temptation.

[deric8]

That's something I never understood because they could have sold so many prize plugs on the show.

[TVLubber]

Probably because of the stations it signed on. They somewhat refused to up the ante. The network or syndicator usually gives the prizes to the contestants, AFAIK.

[megamanj2004X]

I liked the way Jim kept saying "RIGHT!" whenever John got a question correct. He really said that with very big enthusiasm.

[quizmaster85]

He certainly knew how to keep it going

[quizmaster85]

Best quality of that episode I've seen in a while

[gameshowluvr86]

Amazing, amazing quality.

[mittdawson]

not bad for a compressed 20 year old VHS tape, and you gotta love HQ, makes alot of difference...not great full screen, but we can't have it all...:)

[SaleGuy]

CLASSIC!!!!!!!!
