eBay Brings Families Together On ABC
Have you ever been caught in a bidding war on eBay? You’re breaking out in a light sweat as the last few minutes are counting down and you’re desperately hitting the refresh key to make sure you haven’t been outbid.
Don’t you think there aught to be a Reality TV show like that? OK, maybe the thought never crossed your mind but it did cross the minds of some ABC producers! ‘Buy It Now’ is one of the new reality shows set to air on ABC this summer.
The show will center around different families who put a variety of their prized possessions on eBay in the hopes of raising the proceeds to have some meaningful goal realized. “Buy It Now” will air twice a week. The first episode will introduce the family, their friends and neighbors and anyone else who might be participating in the project. The second episode will show the progress of the auctions and of course, the results.
I’m feeling a real ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ vibe on this one.
