From Apple Watches to Prada Sunglasses,
Shoppers Break a “Digital Wishbone” to Pick the Deals They Want
Most
For the first time, eBay shoppers can vote for the holiday deals
they want. On Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 26) eBay is launching the
“Wish Bigger Wishbone.” Inspired by the classic tradition of
breaking the turkey wishbone, eBay will pair two different deals
against each other every hour from 4:00 p.m. ET to 10:00 p.m. ET.
Potential deals are up 70% off MSRP on new, in-demand gifts ranging
from top tech, to fashion accessories, toys and home appliances.
The winning deal will “break open” at the end of each hour.
