Dealer's Choice (1972)

A wheeling dealing used car game.
Buy and sell cars from your used car lot. Using your copy of the Blue book, try to make as much money as you can. Protect your cars with various insurance and 'force' opponents to run into bad luck.

VERY IMPORTANT: There is one 'bad card' in this game which should be removed. If you total all of the values on each of the blue book value cards, all of them should be the same ($89,500) but one card is worth less ($87,500). This card should be labeled and not used for game play. Parker Brothers confirmed this error in a letter to my father in the 1970s. Whoever has this card is at a disadvantage; it is an error.

Two other notes, confirmed by Parker Brothers:

1) If you engage in a bidding session to buy a vehicle, you MUST buy the vehicle. You cannot back out of a sale (either the seller or the buyer).

2) Seller does NOT have to accept the highest bid if two or more players are bidding on the same vehicle. Seller can, for instance, take a lower bid from a player with less money, thereby leaving him/her with even less cash on hand.
