** ''Everything'' on the UK version, mainly because the broadcasting rules of the time placed a strict limit on prize value. ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' [[note]](on which UK ''Sale'' host [[Radio/JustAMinute Nicholas Parsons]] was the sometime resident straight man)[[/note]] parodied this at least twice, one of which felt eerily like the American ''Temptation''.

GameShow that originally ran on Creator/{{NBC}} from 1969 to 1973, followed by weekly syndication for the 1973/74 season. The show was created and executive produced by Al Howard two years after the conclusion of another program of his, ''Series/SupermarketSweep'' on Creator/{{ABC}}. It was originally hosted by Jack Kelly, who was replaced by Joe Garagiola in 1971. The show was directed by Creator/PaulAlter. Three solo contestants (from April 1973 to September 1974, two husband-wife teams) accumulated small amounts of money by answering general-knowledge questions. At certain points in the game, the player/couple in the lead could spend part of their score on ridiculously discounted prizes. Unlike most games, ''Sale'' allowed all players to take home whatever money and prizes were credited to them, regardless of the outcome.
