Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings

Monty gives a salute to a group from La Belle, France before we start with business.

FIRST TRADER: Susan Pratt (lettuce hair and yellow boa)

Susan like lettuce, maybe she likes cabbage. We have some here in a Superseal crisper. Of course, we’re not talking veggies, we’re talking money. Will Susan keep it or trade for Melanie’s Diamond Box? She takes the box. How much lettuce was in the bowl? $1,500!! Behind the box….a Gibson Side-by-Side Fridge/Freezer stocked with Bright & Early Breakfast Drink ($1,220) Plenty of room for an extra wig, but maybe she’d like to swap for Curtain #2. Susan needs the Fridge and passes. Behind the Curtain…1/2 A CAR (It was split in a divorce)

SECOND GROUP OF DEALERS: Donna Dunlap (maid in curlers), Robert Jeffress (big banana) and Julie Stone (Southern belle and straw hat)

Donna gets $350. Robert gets $350. And Julie gets…oops, Monty’s a little short on cash. We’ll fix that! Donna can spend her money on the spotted box and Julie gets the leftovers. Donna chooses the box. While Julie has her cash, our maid gets a KitchenAid Dishwasher W/ElectraSol and a Genie JetVac ($909.90) Maybe Robert can give her his $350 in exchange for Curtain #1? Nope, he hands her the Curtain instead. Behind it…a Woods of America Rocking Horse. (Brian the Cowboy from Indiana)

Now Julie can trade her $350 (and horse) for Curtain #3. Leftovers go to…Monty. Julie gives ’em back in exchange for… a Schafer & Sons Decorator Console Piano ($2,025)

THIRD DEALERS: Patty and Mark Lavorne (Raggedy Ann and Andy)

Money is going to be spent at $600 a minute. Four items to price on the table. If the Lavornes make the range the first time, they get $300. Each win after that doubles their bank. A potential $2,400 is up for grabs.

First Item: Clorets Breath Mints (1 roll) within 30 cents.
Guess: 40¢
ARP: 45¢ $300

Second: d’Amelia Pasta (16 oz. Box) within 50 cents.
Guess: $1.20
ARP: $1.00 $600

Third: Dentu-Creme (3.9 oz.) within 50 cents.
Guess: $2.10
ARP: $1.89 $1,200

For the Sweep: True Value Harvard Cutlery (3 pc.) within $5
Guess: $35
ARP:

How about spending that $1,200 on what’s behind Curtain #3? No sir, they’re going for the big money! Behind the curtain…THE BACK HALF OF THE CAR!

ARP of the Knives: $29.95 (Missed by 5 cents)

$1,200 it is for the Lavornes.

FOURTH DEAL: Carol McCreery (cowboy)

Is Carol a generous lady? She’ll have to give one of these items away. A bunch of bills with a $10 up front OR a fancy ring

Mita Lubliner (bride)

And Mita is married but never had a ring. Carol gives it to her. Now she can give the money pack away for Curtain #2? She’s keeping the money. Behind the curtain…DAYS OF THE WEEK WHEELBARROWS.

Opening the plastic, there’s 60 ten-dollar bills.
60 X 10 = $600

And what about Mita? Is she generous enough to give the ring back to Monty? He’s willing to give her the comet box in return. Mita says “I Do” to the ring. She turned down…a Speed Queen Washer/Dryer. ($999.90) Now about that ring…it’s from Zirconia Fine Jewelry 14k gold solitaire and 2 kt. zirconia Value: $175

“I’ll tell everyone it’s real”

Mita’s plan for her husband

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $8,347

Julie and Susan are in.

It’s a Homemaker’s Package: a Litton Go-Anywhere Microwave and Ovenware plus Alcas Cutco Cutlery ($818) And it goes to…Neither!

Monty’s Cookie Jar is back and it’s pretty good…$2,123. Julie can use it for UC Santa Cruz to study literature. Susan’s, however, has does even better with…

First we have Galaxy Ariba Carpeting (50 sq. yds.),. Perfect for under a Jules Seltzer Living Room Suite and Sharp 25″ TV. Yet, Susan still regrets trading that refrigerator she really needed. Well, this might help. Remember the crisper she traded to get the fridge? Monty gives her a check worth the same amount that was inside…$1,500! ($8,347)

Total Winnings: $13,704.90

Quicke: Bill Veerman (New Jersey Hat) is offered $200 for a hunting license. Nope! Fishing license? Nope! Marriage license? NO! Driver’s license. Yes, that’s $100.

Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings

36 people on the trading floor, people like you…only dressed funnier! People like…

OUR FIRST TRADER: Karen Fuchs (covered in yarn)

Here’s a yarn for Karen! Monty wants to buy her handbag. He starts with $100, but Karen won’t settle for that. $500 is a deal. Brian has a plastic bag to empty the contents. What would see like to spend her new found riches on? “A CAR” There’s a very small chance there might be one behind the Spotted Big Box (Don’t hold your breath!) Karen decides to wait, turning down…a Speed Queen Washer/Dryer. Comes complete with a box of 20 Mule Team Borax. ($1,024.90) Doesn’t cost anything for Karen to get the stuff back from Brian, but it will cost $500 for the small box. Rejected Again! In the box…her own purse…which Brian put $1,500. While Monty takes the extra cash, what about the wallet? “Take it and Burn it” No, Karen says he can keep it.
How about another opportunity. $500 buys a KFC Gift Pack and whatever else is behind Curtain #2. She needs money for school, so she’s holding on again. But just think of all the purses she could’ve had with…THE LEATHER FROM THESE TWO BABY GOATS!

SECOND TRADER: Bea Ontiveros (workout wear)

$2.89 won’t buy much from her purse, but earning $2.89 is worth a Dicker & Dicker Davini Regal Chinchilla Cape Jacket. One of these five items is the key:

• Carroll Shelby Texas Chili and Cornblead
• Quaker Corn Bran (16 oz.)
• Plasti-kote Rust Not Enamel (Half-Pint)
• V.L.P. Vinyl Repair (1 oz. Tube)
• 2000 Flushes (14 oz.)

Can Bea pick a grocery item that sells for EXACTLY $2.89? AT LEAST ONE is there. She nervously chooses the 2000 Flushes. Everyone agrees…except for:

Debby Levine (chef)

Her choice was the chili/cornbread, so she’s suddenly in the running. First,

• Enamel $2.69

How sure is Debby now? Maybe she’ll call it off for this package: A Berkline Recliner and Pilot Stereo ($1,498) “That or the coat?” Well, you don’t have the coat yet, but you can’t have both. Debby’s staying with it. Price of Carroll Shelby’s stuff…$3.08

You may be Seated

Parting Words

That leaves Bea, but she doesn’t have the last laugh yet. At least we know the Corn Bran was $1.85. Is Bea still confident to turn down the same sure thing Debby passed on? No, Bea is Bailing
Price of the 2000 Flushes: $2…25! Only the V.L.P. would’ve gotten the Fur.

We’re next going to see if it is better to give than to recieve?

DOOR #4!

Gotta check the People Picker: #8

Nancy Schulberg (Tennis Player)

NOTE: She’s a new dealer, but if she’d played before, she’d still play here.
Anywhoo, does Nancy want the BIG CASH or would she rather take Curtain #1? The Sure Thing is La-Z-Boy Signature II Sleeper Sofa and Sharp 19″ TV ($1,698) Nancy wants Door #4…until Monty adds $300 cash. She just lobbed back…

$ 4 2 3 5!

Giving wasn’t better than receiving for Nancy. Let’s find out how it goes for…

NEXT DEALER: Maria Chacon (strawberry)

Monty: Are You Good at giving things away?
Maria: No…YES!
Well, I’ll tell you, she 50-50 whatever she does.

Monty gives her $400 AND the Diamond Box. One she has to give away to…

Theodore Robinson (shiny smock and tinfoil hat)

Theodore gets the box….a Kelvinator No-Frost 16 cu. ft. Fridge/Freezer and an Anova Phone/Answering Center ($1,109.90) Now Ted has to give something away. His current stash OR the pink envelope. (NO Peeking!) Ted passes on the envelope. It said: “You Get Everything In This Deal Worth $1,509.90”

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $7,313

Bea stands up and Ted rushes up to trade.

SNEAK PREVIEW TIME!

Os-Cal Calcium and more! We may run out of time, because Bea is taking forever to choose.

Bea finally chooses…

It’s Monty’s Piggy Bank! Inside…$376 BIG DROP! This would’ve been better…

It’s a trip to the Bahamas (1wk. @ Grand Hotel on Paradise Island) PLUS $500 ($3,406). Ted and his shiny attire will be a hit. Had either picked #1, it would’ve been a bigger hit. Not just the Calcium…but a Chevrolet Chevette 2 Dr. Coupe AND $1,000 in Cash! ($7,313)

Total Winnings: $6,680
Big Winner: Ted

Quickie Deals: Looking for a Silver Dollar again for $150. We did the Pass Key yesterday. No luck, so let’s try two half dollars. Ginger Radnor, not shown on camera, is still looking while a man in camo is looking for a pic of his wife for $100. Just in time!

LET’S MAKE A DEAL-October 3, 1984

gamespeopleplayed September 16, 2023 0Comment

Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings

New set, new announcer, new models, new prize, old me.

From the Big Dealer himself

FIRST TRADER: Carmen Davidson (cheerleader)

She’s getting Curtain #1 just like that. And she can trade it, just like that for $100…$200…$300! Nope, she’s hangs on to…A BIG STUFFED DOG!!

Judging by her reaction, it was worth it for Carmen. And still worth giving Monty a Kiss.

SECOND TRADER: Bruce Harrington (baseball player “Monty! Let’s Play Ball! cap)

First, Bruce’ll make a deal with Monty if there’s no kiss. Instead, Monty gets a wiffle ball. And Bruce gets Curtain #2 for free. Will he sell for $100…$300…$400…$450? SOLD! Behind #2…TWO STUFFED DOGS!

He prefers winning the cash. Why stop now?

THIRD TRADER: Becky Coramotto (lion “I’ll roar if I pick the right door.”

Her roar is more of a baby’s roar. Maybe Curtain #3 will make her really ROAR. Behind it…not a dog, but chicken: A KFC Gift Pack. Anything else? Becky can trade it all for $450…$500…$550…$600! Not happening! We’ve had one…we’ve had two….Could it be…THREE STUFFED SCOOBY-DOOS!!!

Stuffed dogs for $350 a piece? That’s nothing compared to eggs at $12,000 A DOZEN! Monty can only buy ’em one at a time in this deal.

NEXT TRADERS: Barbara Whaley (pigtailed baby) and Theresa Bier (referee)

It’s a “Let’s Make a Deal” classic. Three eggs (Green, Red and Yellow)! Raw eggs will get you a grand., hard-boiled are just hard-boiled eggs.

• Barbara (Red)
• Theresa (Yellow)
• Monty’s Egg (Green)

Monty’s egg…is raw! But don’t expect to be paid, buddy. Theresa’s egg…is given away for the Spotted Big Box. It would’ve been…a $1,000! Good news it’s not another dog. Instead it’s more chicken…AND IT’S ALL RAW!

It was a dozen hens, but the stagehands got hungry.

Barbara has a dilemma! There’s one egg left, could it be raw, too? She may prefer Curtain #2 which has Galaxy Ariba Carpeting (25 sq. yds.) worth $499.75. She still wants the egg. How about guaranteed cash? Monty brings it up to half of a raw egg $500, and Barbara takes it. Behind the carpeting…2 Suzuki FA50 Shuttle Mopeds (Curtain #2 Total: $898.75) The Yellow egg was…RAW!

If you’re keeping track, there’s been $4,350 in cash offered. Of that, only $950 has been given away, along with three ZONKS!

COUPLE: Aeme and Pete Skelton (nurse and doctor, but not really)

Here’s another $10, but all the Skeltons need is a penny to buy a Volkswagen Rabbit 4 Dr. ($9,490) There are four items. The Skeltons will guess each price. Whatever the difference is will be subtracted from that $10 bill.

First Item: Mary Kitchen Corned Beef Hash (15 oz.)
Guess: 89¢
ARP: $1.39 -.50
Money Left: $9.50

2nd: Quaker Corn Bran (16 oz.)
Guess: $1.98
ARP: $1.85 -.13
Money Left: $9.37

3rd: Mother Goose Shoes (1 pr.)
Guess: $13.99
ARP: $24.00 -$10.01

Everybody say AAHHH!

We’ll need a new prescription. Dr. Hall will offer $400 if the Skeltons can guess the new item within $15 $20.

Norelco Blood Pressure Monitor
Guess: $89
ARP: $65.95
Difference: -$23.05

Dr. Hall, these patients aren’t responding. Even though they’re not REAL doctors, they’ll get the Blood Pressure Monitor and $50 for dinner. Careful with the linguine.

Can’t someone make a good deal today??!!

LAST CHANCE: Kathy Krick (Hawaiian Lady)

Brian brings down a small box. Inside…a brand snifter filled with Silver Dollars! Eight pounds worth! No, not British pounds, but American Susan B. Anthony Coins. Kathy asks if they’re counterfeit. CERTAINLY NOT!…this time. However, is it worth turning down Curtain #3? It is for Kathy. What about the coins? MATH TIME:

1 pound=56 silver dollars
8 X 56 =$448

Behind the curtain, something much heavier…A Sunray 36″ Gas Range also with Baker-Eze Cooking Pans and a Alcas Cutco Cutlery Set. ($1,199) Finally, a good deal! She can stop while she’s ahead OR trade for the Starry Big Box. Kathy keeps the cooking package. Inside the box, something that would’ve gone well with her outfit…A SKIMPY BLACK BIKINI!

Anyway, PERFECT DEAL!

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $9,515

Theresa and Bruce are buying tickets for the Big Deal!

It’s Monty’s Cookie Jar! Inside…$298, and it goes to…Theresa. ($202 less than what she had.) On to…

There are two sides. First side, an Admiral a la mode Fridge/Freezer and Regina Steamer Carpet Cleaner. On the other side, a Sharp 25″ TV ($2,323.99) Bruce got a much better deal for his money. Still, this could’ve been his…

Behind the $25 Creamettes Lasagna, that same Volkswagen from before. ($9,515)

Total Winnings: $3,936
Biggest Winner: Bruce

Quickie Deals: Chris, a giant chocolate kiss, selected to find a loose key. George, dressed like a woman, is looking for a nail clipper. NOPE! A nail file? NOPE! George offers a nail to give for $100. This Texas thinks as fast as he loses his wig. Back to Chris…they left the key back up in the upper deck. Monty next tries a Pen Knife for $150. Scissors don’t count. Darlene Thompson has one on a keychain.

Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings

First, a celebrity citing. Country Star Charlie Daniels….wait, no he’s not. Now introducing BRIAN CUMMINGS…and his mustache! Forgot that, let’s talk about that packet of money Brian has. Two ladies are going to have to fight over it.

Suzi Lacey (Olympic Garb with a sign saying “USSR”, “You Boycotted my Olympics”) and Carolyn Cox (bunny rabbit)

Brian’s packet has nine bills, a $20 up front. Each will get one of the remaining bills for themselves.

• #2 $1,000
• #3 $500
• #4 $100
• #5 Carolyn’s Choice

She’s got a look of buyer’s remorse. Maybe she can trade her pick for the spotted big box. Hey, don’t coax her into keeping the cash!! No, she’s made up her own mind. Carolyn wants the bill. Behind the box…a Litton Go-Anywhere Microwave and KitchenAid Portable Dishwasher W/ElectraSol ($1,183.95) All that to hang on to…a Benjamin. Hey, she needs the money for college (She wants to be a Teacher)

• #6 $500
• #7 A Mystery for Suzi

The Appliances are no mystery, she can buy that OR…another mystery. Curtain #2…with a clue. Kirsch Window Blinds. Suzi’s not one for surprises, she’ll take the sure thing.

There’s a girl that knows a bird in the hand is forth five gold medals in your own Olympics

• Suzi’s bill: Just a $100
• #8 $1,000
• #9 $100
• Curtain #2: OLDER KITCHEN WITH THE ORIGINAL GARBAGE DISPOSAL (GOAT)

And now the age-old question? Who’s the better shopper, the husband or the wife?

Joe and Marcia Takaks (Slicker Jackets and Leaves on their heads “We NUTMEGGERS want to spice up a deal!”)

Marcia says she’s the better shopper. Only one way to find out. The Takaks will compete against each other and “What’s Mine is Mine!” The first three are $300 each.

Sanwa Ramen Pride Noodles (3 oz.)
Marcia 99¢ Joe $1.39
ARP: 25¢ Marcia says the prizes are more expensive at home in Connecticut.

Plasti-Kote Rust Not Enamel (16 oz.)
Joe: $2.95 Marcia: $2.75
ARP: $3.39 Tie game

Pollenex Smoke Grabber Ash Tray
Marcia: $15 Joe $11.50
ARP: $24.95 Ladies 2 Gentleman 1

Last One’s $500: Bionaire 500 Air Purifier
Joe $40 Marcia $49
ARP: $130 She wins $1,100-$300

Now will our couple keep their finances separate OR pool together to buy Curtain #3? And it’s transportation. They say “I do” to the cash. I now pronounce you missing out on…His/Hers…BURROS!

$1,400 is just the beginning, there’s another fortune up for grabs next…

DOOR #4

Still just the middle section this time. The lucky player is in Seat…14.

Jack Rosenberg (I’m dying, dying, dying to make a deal)

Done, you have the cash behind the fourth door. However, he may die regretting trading the door for $700 OR…Curtain #1 (Travel sign) With advice from “Honey” he chosses…the TRAVEL. Behind the door:

$ 2 4 8 .00

And for travelling, he and his honey are going to….Hawaii (1wk.@ Kona Surf). And they’ll stop, but Monty won’t. Here’s another $1,000 ($3,148)

Two other people in the center section will get their chance at that other fortune Mr. Hall was talking about before.

Tonnie Cremacino (Hawaiian sprite) and George Shire (hobo tennis player)

And here’s Brian with two fortunes…Fortune Cookies. Messages included. George is ready to crack it open…NOT YET! Maybe you should trade it for Curtain #3. He quickly changes his mind, so Monty gets to open it up.

“YOU SMART COOKIE-WINS $605.00!

George is feeling pretty dumb, especially after he sees…THREE GARBAGE CANS STRAIGHT FROM NEWPORT BEACH!

Who knows whether Tonnie will have better luck? Her decision is the Cookie or the Star Big Box. She wants the Box! So she’s misses this important message:

“THIS CUCKOO COOKIE-WORTH $57.00!”

Instead, Tonnie’s telling time with an Emperor Cherry Grandfather Clock. Plus, she’ll keep time to music with an Helix Portable Component Stereo. ($1,648.50)

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $7,525!

The Takaks and Tonnie will participate as Jack and Honey say ALOHA! (The Takaks get first choice)

SNEAK PREVIEW TIME! There’s some Os-Cal Calcium. The rest will come later! Next…

His/Her Catalina Sportswear, Ray-Ban Leather Sunglasses and Benrus Quartz Watches. ($1,410) And it’s for…Tonnie. An OK trade!

Another matching set: Gibson Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher and Electric Range. We add to it a Sharp 19″ TV and a West Bend Stir Crazy Popcorn Popper. ($2,733.60) Doesn’t matter who the better shopper is in the Tataks. They both got lucky by going with the Calcium instead. It was $25 and it comes with…a Dicker and Dicker Davini Poncho Mink. ($7,525) Marcia, thankfully, have a respectable blue dress on. The smock comes off and the fur goes on.

Total Winnings: $13,366

Quickie Deals: One happy lady gets $150 for a Needle in a Haystack.

Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings and Karen LaPierre

Once Monty’s doing giving high fives, it’s time to get down to business.

First Trades: Kathy Anset (gambling lady, with giant aces)

Monty giver her five, too. A $500 Bill! Now what’s in his other pocket? It’s MORE CASH…or less cash? Kathy doesn’t know, but she can trade her $500 bill for that, OR she can trade it in for Curtain #1. To start with, we see $25 of Os-Cal Calcium. Decisions, Decisions! Kathy…keep what see already has. SOME GAMBLER SHE IS! What was behind the Os-Cal? It’s a Ford….THAT’S AGED A BIT! (Old Falcon)

But what about Monty’s other pocket? THREE TIMES WHAT SHE HAD! ($1,500)

After seeing what a woman can do, let’s she how good shoppers men are!

HOLD ON! The alarm’s gone off! That mean it’s time for Door #4! In this first edition, there’s cash behind the door. We don’t know how much, but it could be up to $5,000…or as little as $1. In the center of the trading floor, players’ seats are numbered 1 to 36. Whatever number the randomizer on the door stops on, the trader in that seat wins the money. And the number is…28. It’s Sue Cornet (tennis player).

Sue is the first that gets to open the door we don’t have room for the Big Deal. The question is, will she keep the cash or make a trade for Curtain #3? You don’t have to wait to find out about the curtain. It’s a Trip to Mexico City (1 wk.@ Maria Isabel Sheraton) and $500 cash ($2,148) The audience wants Sue to take the trip, but she’s already five miles ahead of them. So, what was behind Puerta Numero Cuatro?

$4,007!

Now, where were we before all this? Oh yeah, let’s see how good shoppers men are?

Dan Beavers (deli baseball team) vs. Jim Briggs (gator hat)

Who ever bids closest to this item gets $400
Cortizone 5 (1 oz.)
Dan $2.69 Jim $1.99
ARP: $3.40 Dan wins

That was an interesting experiment. Back to the ladies:

Shirlene Mayer (chicken with an egg) vs. Anne Gibbons (fisher lady)

Another item for the same stakes:
Mentos (1 roll)
Anne $1.25 Shirlene 80¢
ARP: 35¢ Shirlene makes bank

Now for a real test, Man vs. Woman

Duane Starr (gold suit with monster helmet) vs. Jodie Edmonson (party clown)

VLP Vinyl Repair (1 oz.)
Jodie $2.99 Duane $3.15
ARP: $2.89 Jodie Wins

Next comes the hard part. Each of our winners can trade their cash in for something different.
Jodie goes first, Four Benjamins or Curtain #3. She takes the curtain:

It’s a Roper Gas Range and Litton Go Anywhere Microwave, plus some d’Amelia Pasta to cook up! ($1,253)

Shirlene’s option is the Sunshine Box. It’s a deal for…AN OLD-FASHIONED GAS PUMP (Not the cool ones that PiR would offer)

Lastly, it’s Dan. His money for Curtain #1? He’ll take a swing and gets… a La-Z-Boy Signature II Sleeper Sofa and Pilot Stereo ($1,598)

Julie Chapman (giant Orbo cookie) and Tina Yusef (playboy Bunny)

Make Me Some Money and I’ll be your (Bunny)

Sign (Never take My Word for it)

You can take Monty’s word that he’ll give $300 to each lady. Three boxes are on the floor, each will cost $150 to buy.

#1: Julie will buy: Benrus Citation Gold Watches ($500)
#2: Tina buys: PUNK ROCK WIG
#3: Both buy: Sharp 9″ TV ($450)

To recap:

• Julie has $950 in prizes
• Tina has the TV and an MTV dust rag!

One decision left, will they trade it all in for Curtain #2? A sneak preview: Mazola No Stick Cooking Spray.

• Julie NO!
• Tina YES!

Tina missed out on his/her watches, now she has his/her…POLKA DOT LONG JOHN’S!

RECAP

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $9,490

Sue and Jodie will trade (WHAT ABOUT DAN?)

We got a Kelvinator 16 cu. ft. Fridge/Freezer filled with Bright and Early Orange Drink. There’s also a Royal Prince Vacuum Cleaner ($1,160.80) It’s for…Jodie, only a little dip.

This time, we see a Gibson Washmaster Washer/Dryer (W/20 Mule Team Borax Detergent). While washing, you can enjoy a La-Z-Boy Recliner/Rocker and that Sharp 19″ TV ($2,221) Sue…didn’t pick that! Her Mom has joined her, and she’s seen Monty before. She won a Camaro on LMAD before. And now her little girl has won…

…a car of her own! It’s a Volkswagen Rabbit 4 Door ($9,490)

Total Winnings: $13,698.80

Quickie: Yolanda was looking for up to 15 credit cards. I didn’t get the rest because the theme was too loud.

ALL-NEW LET’S MAKE A DEAL-September 26, 1984

gamespeopleplayed July 29, 2023 0Comment

Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings and Karen Lapierre

Monty has two handbags that don’t go with his Blue suit and pants. Would a couple of ladies be interested?

First Traders: Dale Columbo (Brown Low-Cut Dress) and Giselle Moreau (Black Hat and no pants)

Dale can trade her light blue handbag with some money for Curtain #1. She takes the handbag. The Curtain was a REJECT FROM THE GLUE FACTORY!

In the bag, just one bill…worth $500.

What will Giselle choose? Her bag or Curtain #2, which starts with a giant box of Creamettes. Monty remembers there’s double in this deal. Is it twice as much money in the handbag or was there twice as many donkeys as behind that first curtain? Giselle chooses the curtain. The money in the bag….was $1,000! As for the curtain…it was DOUBLED TOO!

SECOND TRADERS: Tom and Karen Luken (honeybees expecting a Babee)

This couple has a chance at what’s in Monty’s Hand…10 Pennies. Just seven will be enough to send them to Paris. Plus, we’ll throw in a check for $2,300 ($7,190)

One Penny: Champale Extra Dry (12 oz.) within 60 cents.
Guess: $2.00 (Karen spoke first) ARP: 83¢

Wait, Tom and Karen, that was just one penny. Nine are still on the table. Just make sure you agree on the right price.

Two Pennies: Mentos Wintergreen (single roll) within 25 cents.
Guess: 49¢ ARP: 35¢

Three Pennies: Maximum Strength Cortizone 5 (1 oz.) within $1
Guess: $2.75 ARP: $3.40 (Up to Five Pennies)

Four Pennies: Gillespie Refinish Furniture Kit within 50 cents.
Guess: $9.95
Feel confident?!? If not, there’s the Sunshine Box. Inside is an home electronic Package:

• Commodore 64 Computer
• Sharp 19″ TV
• TOTAL: $1,238.85

The Lukens can’t seem to decide. Monty will add $500 to the Electronics. Karen convinces Tom to take the Sure Thing.

ARP of Furniture Kit: $9.95 “Adieu”

THIRD TRADER: Jim Poole (5th Understudy from “Cats”) “The Pur-r-r-r-fect Deal”

Brian has a Treasure Chest Behind Curtain #1, a giant box of Quaker Corn Barn. Who gets the rejects?

Marie Harrington (Nurse “What’s Up Doc?”)

Brian chooses the chest. Marie’s not sure about the Curtain. How about Cash “$2,000 or $3,000” Not happening, $100..2…3…4…No More! Marie will settle for that. Inside the Corn Bran…Ventura 4pc. Luggage and His/Her Helbros Quartz Watches. ($1,240)

FIRST DEALER: Debbie Martinez (devil woman)

Whisper a secret in Monty’s ear for $350. It’s her weight. Two gentlemen will guess at it.

Mark Chapman (Cookie Monster) and Jim Calvert (perfect gentleman)

Whoever guesses closest to this woman’s weight gets $400.
Jim: 120 lbs. Mark: 127
Actual Weight: 120 lbs. Jim wins! ($50 for Mark)

Back to Debbie, she can buy the Sunshine Big Box with that $350. It’s a sale for…A BUNCH OF CHICKS!!

What about Jim? What about Curtain #1? It starts with Kirsch Window Blinds (using Spilt Second ’72). Jim will trade the $400. Behind the blinds…a Broyhill Oak Bedroom W/Simmons Beautyrest Mattress ($2,353)

John and Diane Favela (him a baby nurse of Cabbage Patch Dolls, she a Playboy Bunny)

It’s the return of Monty’s old Cash Register. The Favelas could get up to $500 which in turn can buy a VW Rabbit 4 dr. ($9,490)

On the cash register, there are 15 buttons. 13 have money, either $50 or $100. The other two say No Sale. Pick money til you have $500 or No Sale takes it all away, or they stop with their winnings. (1-7 Top Row 8-15 Bottom, Both Left to Right)

Joanne is offered the spotted big box and she’ll take it. Inside the box…a Speed Queen Washer/Dryer ($999.90) Terri can have Curtain #1 including a lot of No Nonsense Pantyhose. She’ll buy and gets…a Gibson Fridge, Dishwasher and Electric Range. ($1814.85) PERFECT DEAL!

ONE MORE TRADER: Joan Cockwist (Elvira)

Brian races to bring down a small box for Joan. There are two Minolta Talker 35mm cameras. Would she rather have the diamond Big Box instead. She keeps the cameras, but could’ve had…another fridge. This is a White-Westinghouse 22 cu. Ft. Refrigerator Freezer ($1,169.95) She’s sure there’s something more with the cameras. Joan won’t trade even for Curtain #3. She would’ve had His/Her…Old Fashioned Hatracks (Mooseheads).

The His/Her Camera boxes held…$1,500! 2nd PERFECT DEAL

RECAP:

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $8,184

Jim and Terri are in (before Terri, Joan stood up before Monty got to her just to say she’s keeping her stash). Jim is joined by a lady, Vicki Leland.

Another appearance of Monty’s Piggy Bank. Crack it open and we find…$444. A poor trade for Jim and Vicki

Our next reveal is Amelia Earhart Luggage, Cutex Nail Polish Remover, a Benrus Diamond Watch and Krementz White Gold Diamond Pendant ($1,930) A small improvement for Terri…if she’d picked it. How much better did she do?

First, there’s a KFC Gift Pack (for the husband). They’ll be having dinner in a Jules Seltzer Contemporary Dining Room. We’ll also through in a Sharp 19″ TV….and a check for $2,800 ($8,184)

Quickie Deals: Jack Lard, a Social Security Card for $50 and a question for another $200. He’s sure he’s got it, but Monty’s got no time for this. He goes looking for $100 for a Stamp from someone else.

Total Winnings: $12,177
