Posted by mclassen on June 24, 2008

Ever really hated your life and wanted to start over? Maybe just chuck it all and get on a plane to where ever it was going? Well, Ian Usher of  Perth Australia is doing just that. He’s selling his life and has it listed as an Ebay auction. It is going on right now. About a year ago, Ian and his wife broke up and he has had a hard time with it. We can all understand that. Actually, you can get all the gory details of this relationship disaster for a fee at this website alife4sale.com. Divorces are hard and you accumulate a lot of things during a relationship. “Everything that I have, the furniture in the house, all has memories attached to it. It’s time to shed the old and in with the new.”  So, step right up folks it’s all for sale in one lump. You can get everything. The auction items include: his three-bedroom home in Perth, western Australia, its contents, his car, motorcycle, jet ski and parachuting gear. And that’s not all! As an extra bonus, you get a job and an introduction to Ian’s friends. Apparently they need some new blood for his drinking buddies. Cool huh?  The job is as a shop assistant at a rug store. You’re all set up. Joy Jones, who co-owns the rug shop, said: “When Ian came up with this idea we thought, why not give it a go?”  What the heck. Now you know who’s your new boss. So what does Ian plan to do with his new life? He said: “My current thoughts are to head to the airport and ask where the next flight with an available seat goes to, get on that and see where life takes me from there.” So what am I bid for Ian’s entire life. What’s it worth. Maybe we’re finally answering the eternal question, what’s a person’s life really worth? To find the answer go to Ian’s website, You can register to bid there as well, and throw a few thousand down for you own chance at Ian’s life. Look at the bright side, his ex isn’t included in the deal. Maybe you’ll have better luck. Good luck and happy bidding. When the auction ends Sunday, Ian says he will depart his life, live online. We’ll see how that’s going to go down.
