 The third Instant Bargain became an "Instant Cash" round later in  the shows run. The player in the lead could go have a chance at a  cash jackpot that started at $1000 and increased by $1000 every time  it either was not picked or no one went for it. It often was not  gone for due to the fact if one player was in the lead, the cost to  go for it was the full amount of that persons lead, and you had to  pick between three boxes (the other two had $100 in it). However, if  two or all three players were in the lead, Jim made the cost to go  for it more reasonable, and often someone would jump at the chance.
