Sale Of The Century Game format. Contestants answer general knowledge toss-up questions, earning $5 for a correct answer or losing +$5 for a miss. Only the first contestant to buzz in could answer a question; a miss took it out of play for the other two. Each contestant starts with $20. At certain times during gameplay, the contestant in the lead participates in an "Instant Bargain" and is offered the opportunity to purchase merchandise at a bargain price. The selling price for the item, generally the value of one or more questions, is then deducted from the contestant's score, and the prize is theirs to keep regardless of the game's outcome.
From 1969 to 1973, the three contestants, all began with $25. Midway through the game, the question values doubled to $10. At first, the final round consisted of 30 seconds of $15 questions. Later, this was replaced with five $20 questions (called "The Century Round", as the total value of the questions was $100). If a contestant's total was reduced to zero (or lower), that contestant was eliminated from the game.
At certain points during gameplay, all contestants were offered the opportunity to purchase merchandise at a bargain price. The first contestant to buzz in after the prize was revealed purchased that prize, and the price was deducted from his or her score.
Bonus Round
The champion was given a chance to buy a bonus prize with the money earned in all main game wins to that point. Six individual prizes were offered, which changed every five shows, and were arranged in ascending order of both retail value and sale price. A new champion was always allowed to buy the least expensive prize for either its sale price or the entire first game-winning score, whichever was lower.
After a win, the champion could either buy the highest affordable prize and retire from the show, or return to play another match in the hopes of winning enough money to afford a higher-level prize. A defeated champion left with only the cash and prizes accumulated in the main game.
