What about those weird Chalet Alpine trailers? Those look weird, but are good prizes to be offered anyway.

I hear ya, Kourtney! Can you believe those teeny things are over $11,000?!

BTW, I remember a playing of Swap Meet last year that offered a bottled ship.

Didn't Shopping Spree offer that same bottled ship at one time or another as well?

Maybe it's not the weirdest, but I'd certainly like to throw in the Big Green Egg grill!  Those things are pretty ugly, and have a silly (albeit accurate) name!!

I have some more unusual prizes...

1. the phone that expanded in the 80s... :lol:
2. flotaki rugs... :lol:
3. the $4893 multicolored dinette set... :-o

Alfonzo:  I think we have our trailer prices confused.  T@B trailers start out at $14,000 while our chalet conterparts started at $11,000.  (Still in that regard why are they so high???) :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I'll have to agree with The Big Green Egg.  Certainly a weird prize in my book.  I seem to recall 200 cans of Diet Shasta in a showcase.  I believe I saw that on the Dennis James episode I have.  (...which is the one featured in the Golden Gallery.)

I'm going to have to go with that phone that looked really... inappropriate.  Especially for a daytime show.

There was an early 80s playing of Range Game that offered a hotdog cart. The poor lady won it!
Unless you worked as a vendor at Yankee Stadium, what on earth would you want with that?
I must say though, Holly did a great job modeling it!

Another prize that I would find, if not weird, interesting, would be any video arcade game.  Trust me, who would WANT an arcade game in their home?   :lol:

That Hot Dog cart is horrible, but honestly it would be fun to wheel it out during a backyard picnic.  Plus its something you would never buy for yourself.  

I always place grandfather clocks near the bottom of the list...especially if your a college student.
