Georgia family has everything they own up on eBay

I could make all sorts of jokes about throwing in the
kitchen sink. But I won't.
Because there's nothing funny about the circumstances that
forced Gregg and Brittiny Peters to put every single item in their
household up on eBay. That means the washing machine, the beds,
even the family car.
Gregg, a tennis instructor, and Brittiny, a stay-at-home mom,
have three kids. Seven-year-old Ayla has a rare and debilitating
form of arthritis while two-year-old Noah is autistic. The
medical bills have crippled the family, and the economic
downturn hasn't helped.
So they put everything up -
first on eBay where they have set the opening bid
at $20,000, the exact amount of medical debt hanging over their
head. Then, someone launched a Website dedicated to their cause,
www.everythingweown.org. The title page says
it all - Everything We Own, Except the House and Kids.

He's a tennis instructor and she doesn't work outside the home? Maybe they should have thought about getting a real job(s) to pay their bills, instead of letting it reach the point of selling their possessions...
Sounds like a big scam to me..
