eBay Goes to Times Square to Show off Its Daily Deal Bargains

eBay is promoting its Daily Deals feature by hosting a live game show in Times Square in New York City. During the game, hosted by actor and comedian Mario Cantone, shoppers will compete in price-guessing challenges.

eBay Daily Deals are fixed-price/free-shipping listings that are offered each day at heavily discounted prices and available in limited quantities.

Cantone will host "Let's Make a Daily Deal!" on June 22, 23, and 24 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Times Square Studios (44th Street and Broadway). On Tuesday, June 23, legendary game show host Monty Hall will join Cantone as a special guest co-host.

eBay street teams will recruit players for the "Let's Make a Daily Deal" game, and digital billboards will feature a live, mobile text-based game engaging Times Square crowds who can play along for a chance to win prizes.

Shoppers can also play "Let's Make a Daily Deal" online at ebay.com/dailydealgame and enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win $25,000 worth of prizes.

eBay Marketplaces President Lorrie Norrington said in a press release, "Shoppers can find what they're looking for every day with the unmatched inventory and variety of sellers on eBay. With "Let's Make a Daily Deal" we're shining a spotlight on our fixed-price options including "eBay Daily Deal" and "Buy It Now" - more ways for shoppers to save instantly on items they want."
