I can name that rare eBay item in 3 notes...

MikeK:
This seller has put this episode up for bids on eBay several times, the first time with a $199.99 starting bid.  I've thought about purchasing it in the past but it hurts to be a poor college student.

I believe that the first episode of 1978 "Jeopardy" that's in the trade curcuit exists because of this reason.  The copy that we all have has commercials, but I'm certain they're not the original NBC commercials.
