John Freyer, author of "All My Life for Sale," will chronicle his latest adventures in a new PBS series. "Second Hand Stories" records the adventures of Freyer and filmmaker Christopher Wilcha as they travel the country in search of used items.

The two men started out from New Jersey in a 1978 ambulance they bought for $2,500 on eBay. They visit thrift stores, garage sales, military auctions and university surplus centers on their travels. Determined to maintain a thoroughly second-hand experience, the duo recorded their journey with vintage cameras they acquired along the road and fill out the soundtrack with music from old records they bought for a song.

John Freyer's book All My Life for Sale (Bloomsbury, 2002) details the auction of all his possessions on eBay and subsequent visits to the new owners. Christopher Wilcha's film The Target Shoots First, about Columbia House, the mail order CD and tape club, was shown on Cinemax in 2001. His documentary The Social History of the Mosh Pit premiered on MTV in 2002.

The pilot episode of Second Hand Stories will premier nationally Tuesday, October 14 at 9:30 p.m. on PBS.
