A Life for Sale

After twelve years of being together and five years of being married, Ian Usher was "blindsided" by a divorce from "the best girl in the world". Ian saw no reason to go on living what was a great life... so he's selling it on eBay.

Usher's life comes with a three bedroom house (valued at $400-420k AUD) in beautiful Perth, Australia along with everything in it including his car (Mazda 929), his crotch-rocket (Kawasaki ZX600R), his jet-ski (Kawasaki SX650), his computers, his projector, his jacuzzi, his cameras, his furniture, and more, an offer for a two-week trial at his job at a rug store that could be extended to 3 months or permanently, and introductions to all his friends in Perth. He says his boss and his friends were all very supportive and agreed to being part of the auction. His friends even wrote a (misspelled) letter to bidders. At the end of the auction, Usher plans to "walk out of [his] front door with [his] wallet n one pocket and [his] passport in the other, nothing else at all."

The auction started yesterday and will go on for a week. Already, there are more than a hundred bids with the highest bid at above $2 million USD. Bidders must first register at Usher's website to be put on a list to be allowed to bid on eBay. His website and the eBay listing also includes pictures and videos of him giving a tour of his belongings. Usher also provides information on his FAQ about immigration laws, foreign investment laws in Australia, and other useful information. He insists that he is not "selling his friends", nor will the buyer obtain his identity.

Edit: Looks like since the time of my post, most of the bids were retracted or canceled since the bids were made before eBay could resolve pre-registration issues.
