Wants to change things up after getting crushed by a cheating wife
Things were going pretty well for Ian Usher. He didn't have many complaints; he had a good job, good friends, a nice house, and a garage full of toys. He had a spa and a kite-board. He had a motorcycle and a jet-ski. And he had a great wife. A really awesome wife that he was madly in love with. A magnificent wife that he had the misfortune to find out was having an affair.
Needless to say he was a bit upset. A bit hear-broken. A bit completely and utterly crushed even: “I met and married the best girl in the world. I loved her with all my heart, and she loved me back too...[and] now live alone in a house that was being built for us to live in together. I still have all of our furniture that we bought together in our previous home. I still have the car we owned. I am still surrounded by all the memorabilia of our years together.”
In an effort to move on, Ian Usher has decided to sell his life on eBay. Not his actual human-life, his body or soul or anything, but pretty much everything that he has in life in his Perth. All of his possessions -- everything he owns including his home, car, and other things stated above -- and also his job, his network of friendships, are all going up for auction on June 22nd, 2008.
“Don't forget, the starting price for my life is just $1.00!! With my house alone being valued at around $420,000.00, I would suggest getting a bid in early on,” he says.
If your life is utter trash, and you would like to swap places with Mr. Usher, you can check out his website over here. Then it'll be time for this sad, adventurous chap to start over: “[On the day] it is all sold and settled I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all, and get on the train, with no idea where I am going or what the future holds for me.”
Ah eBay. What would we do without it? It'd be so much harder to sell your life in a newspaper ad.
Is all I can say.
