Although they are usually considered worthless or ridiculous joke prizes, traders legally won the zonks. However, after the taping of the show, any trader who had been zonked is offered a consolation prize (currently $100 cash) instead of having to take home the actual zonk. This is partly because some of the zonks are intrinsically or physically impossible to receive or deliver to the traders (e.g. live animals, the guy in an animal costume or the props/employees that are owned by the studio itself). A disclaimer at the end of the credits of later 1970s episodes read, "Some traders accept reasonable duplicates of Zonk prizes."
