The interesting thing about the shopping format is that even when you have a huge lead, you still might not but an instant bargain if it puts you farther away from the total you need for one of the big prizes. The more instant bargains you by, the lower your shopping dollars, which means you have to play more games to get to the car or other prize, and each game you play is another chance for someone to unseat your championship.
I would say at the 17:15 mark, that original Apple Mac that was on Sale would be the perfect price for any desktop today at Best Buy or Sears. Today's price inflation would be close to $9,500.
There was a young recently married guy one time who (if I remember correctly) easily won three games and stopped at a room full of furniture. He said every time that he needed the furniture and he stopped when he got it. Understandable.
@@Nooki23 Agree too, however, the risk is always there that you run into a tough opponent and lose. If it was something I was eyeing for a long time, I'd have a tough time continuing.
Michael Freedman (unseated by Alice ) left all the prizes in favor of going for the jackpot and lost. This guy was really good. But if all he wanted was the car, no reason to keep risking.
He didn't end up taking the car. He took a lesser cash vaule instead. The same car was available again after he left. The same prizes that are left prior to the previous game means the constant didn't chose to take it.
I love love sale of the century show!!!! My grandmother use to look at this show. Keep them coming!
I love it when Jim is baffled by the Instant Bargains as he was this week.

Also Jan Robst stopped at 2 Pontiac Fiero's too.
Was this the first time that somebody bought something other than the first level prize?
In week 6, Ron bought the second-level trip to England.
Someone else took living room furniture, too.
I still wonder why he quit at the car when he was so close to everything and he was winning by Alice Conkright wins
Agreed. Had he gone on, I'd say he had a 98% likelihood of winning everything and the $$$$ with a couple more wins...

His knowledge is not at that level. Alice was a walking encyclopaedia who thrashed the other contestants

Michael became another Alice Conkright.
A humble, male version of said contestant.
Michael is not her level, Alice was a beast, she usually ends up with scores of 130 pts vs 25 pts other contestants
@@linnag1210 I mean he didn't many bargains like Alice did she didn't buy any
