BIGGEST WINNER in Sale of The Century history! 1985 | BUZZR 

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Great memories.

'Sale of the Century' is one of, if not my favorite gameshow of all time. It could easily work today too!

Tim is a friend of mine. We met in the 90s when I was a drum major for a drum and bugle corps, and the was the emcee for competitions in CT. One of the nicest people I met in those days.

Tim making sure to acknowledge his fellow contestants at 6:28 is my favorite thing about this.

6:12 Kevin Nealon goes in for the bear hug of Summer Bartholemew! Tremendous.

6:26 Kevin Nealon sighting

Comedian Kevin Nealon was one of Tim Holleran's friends that came on stage.

One of my most favorite game shows. I remember Tim's win. The good days.

Jim Perry, the host on Sale of the Century, puts a lot of pressure on the contestant take the prize with a cheaper bargains with $2K money with it, and contestant refuse to cave in. That’s guts.

I used to watch this on my days off at work when I used to work at the lighthouse for the blind. And I'll tell you what it was a very good game show back then and I do believe somewhere over 10 to 15 years ago we had a knockoff that game show called temptation which was really sale of the century in disguise.

Love the bangs! 🤩

Technically that's the biggest win in America's _Sale of the Century_ history.

If we adjusted that for inlation, that would be just over $400k in 2020 dollars.

Tim "Ace" Holleran, is originally from Black Rock, CT. It's near Bridgeport. The station in New Haven that aired Sale...WTNH Channel 8 did a story on him the day he won the lot back in 1985. I think in NYC, Sale was on WABC-TV channel 7 before going to WOR-TV channel 9 or vice versa. Crazy story...I was applying for a job at WICC Radio in Bridgeport...and there was this guy named Ace who was doing a fill-in for a talk show after a Yankees game. I was in the control room checking out the board and such...NOT KNOWING THAT WAS THE GUY WHO HIT IT BIG ON SALE IN THE TALK STUDIO WHICH LINKED TO THE STUDIO (A few years ago a tornado hit downtown Bridgeport and trashed the equipment at the station's top floor location near downtown. WICC and a few other stations are now clustered in a building in Milford, CT). I was afraid that I might've used my game show knowledge and knowing about him to upstage Ace. Sadly when it came to trying to work at one of CT's legendary radio stations...it was NO SALE for me!

4:27 Right down the middle for the money cards (2, 5 and 8)!!

My Favorite Episode of SALE OF THE CENTURY, is Where John Goss Plays for All the Prizes, Plus the Cash Jackpot. John Needed $95 and the Win for Everything.

$2000 seemed like a typical offer if someone was going for the cash jackpot. One of the faults of the shopping format (and winners board for that matter) in that no one was ever going to go for it.

I believe $90,000 is the largest CJ on the syndicated series with $109,000 on the NBC run if I'm not mistaken. Also, I may have asked this on another video, but was Barbara Phillips the only person to win the lot when the CJ was a prize by itself?

6:15 did someone press the buzzer accidentally?

I liked this show.

Great episode! But i wonder if you will show the other Sale episode you guys aired on St. Patrick's Day?!

Going Into This Episode, Tim Had $707 in the Bank. He Needed $43 and the Win, to Win the Cash Jackpot, Plus All of the Prizes.

Even i am shocked big winner

While Tim *was* the biggest winner of the syndicated run, he is by no means the all-time "Sale" champ as the video title and description suggest: Mort Kamins had won $250,000 on the daytime version in 1983 (uploaded on his channel), and in the 1990s the Australian version saw someone win a Lot that included a $508,000 Cash Jackpot.

Biggest nighttime winner. Not even close to the overall biggest Sale winner, Mort Kamins, who won nearly $250,000 in 1983.

5:47 Clear the board! CLEAR the BOARD!

Tim's cash total was over $92,000.

inflation adjusted he won 417,187 worth the cash and prizes as I've been telling my friends who I want to get to watch this grand old game show that sale of the century was the who wants to be the millionaire of its day where you had trivia and the potential to win a small fortune

Champion TIM HOLLERAN Has Won Cash and Prizes Totaling... $166,875!

Sale of the century

$166,875! That would be more then $400,000 today!

TIM HOLLERAN RETIRES WITH $166,875 5:52 6:32

Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman lost the coin toss and remained seated...

well Tim was the biggest winner on the night time version but Jim said that Tom O Brien was the biggest winner i guess he forgot about tim;s run and did anyone notice Tim calling him Jimmy?

4:35, The Speedround

How many equal sides on an isosceles triangle? Six! LOL ! (The actual correct answer is two)

Hi summer From JB3

Most beautiful models: Karen & Dara

The clock had the same tune as pyramid's

@5:21 Wait a minute! Six equal sides on an isosceles triangle? There are only three sides on a triangle and two of them are equal on an isosceles one, Lisa! And seriously, Lisa didn't know the Suez Canal, either!

Vegas!
