Selling TV Show Ideas

Hello. I'm starting a production company w/my boyfriend. We're just getting started. We're coming up with ideas for TV shows, writing scripts, and writing films. I'm curious if anybody knows the average amount a new TV show idea sells for? (like if a production company or network is interested in buying a show from newbies like us) I know this can be a wide range of amounts, but if anyone has any knowledge to offer that would really help us. Thanks.
 
Just to be clear - no one buys ideas. Completed scripts are what
producers buy.

The Writers Guild of America has their minimum that a signatory
company can buy a TV script for. For the non Guild producers there
is no minimum so you're right - this can be a wide range of amounts
from as little as a few hundred to a few thousand to several thousand.
 
Hey Chy,

That's what we do. We are working a deal with HBO starting at $75K per episode. Then if you get a bidding war going it can go to $150K. So that's a good idea of what your looking at. Also we are looking for show ideas. So if you wanna chat PM me.
