Watch Alice go for it all!  Sale Of The Century returned to the NBC daytime lineup in 1983 with Jim Perry as host. Three contestants started off with $20 and answered trivia questions. Each correct answer was worth $5, but an incorrect answer cost a contestant $5.     At certain periods during the game, an "Instant Bargain" was offered to the contestant who had the lead in the game. There, the contestant was offered a fabulous prize at a great price. (i.e. a contestant would be offered a TV that would normally cost $1,000 for only $12!) If the person went for the bargain, the price would be deducted from the score. There were also three "Fame Games" played. There, a person, place, or thing was described and the first contestant to buzz in with the correct answer won a pick on the Fame Game board. The Fame Game board originally had squares that featured the faces of nine celebrities. The faces would eventually be replaced by numbers. Behind each square were prizes, a $10, $15, and $25 money card that would be added to the score.    The speed round came after the third fame game. Contestants had 60 seconds to answer as many questions in the allotted time. The contestant with the most money at the end was the winner.
