Jun 24 2008I'm Buying: Man Auctions Off Entire Life (Including Pride And Dignity) On eBay
Ian Usher is a 44-year old Australian that's selling his entire life on eBay. No, you don't get to kill him, but you do get his house, car, motorcycle, hot tub, friends, job, grill, pictures, computer, underwear, pride, and self respect. The auction ends on Sunday and is already up to about $300,000. Ian is holding the auction after his 12-year relationship with some chick name Laura dissolved and left him broken-hearted. He's looking for a clean start and will begin his new life with nothing but the clothes on his back and the proceeds from the auction (he's hoping for around $500,000). When asked why the relation went sour, Ian replied, "She started kangarooing some other dude. She wanted to settle down and thought I was too impulsive -- the kind of guy that would sell his entire life on eBay." Boy, you sure showed her!
Hit the jump for a bunch of pictures of stuff included in the auction, along with a link to the auction, his blog explaining the situation, and a yahoo news article.

if I buy all his stuff, do you think he'll throw in the ex-girlfriend's number?

He's a 44-year old English expat, and this was actually featured either here or on Hedonistica the last time he tried.
I guess nobody ever picked it up the first time around.

I love how everything is brand new but the car is right out of an 80s flick.

To sell ones life, you go to Ebay. To sell ones soul, you go to Satan.
I'd rather deal with Satan. At least then I'd know that I wouldn't be getting a 90s Mazda; well, unless I asked for it or something.

Why would I spend half a million on the life of a guy that hates his life? Projection tv? no thanks 1080p for me. Crappy car? no thanks. . . its crappy. Kawasaki Ninja? . . . well I won't lie I actually want that, but not for half a million. now if the cheating girlfriend came in the deal then I would be willing to fork over the funds I was saving for when I could attach a second functioning penis on my forehead (for the ladies *wink wink*). I would watch my GF cheat on me on the tacky carpeted floor while i rev the motorcycle and my scooter libby (my penis) as I watch. . . more and more I'm finding that it takes a lot to get me to fling some yogurt.

as a side note. . . the carpet on carpet in his living room looks like the set in a crappy porn . . . the couch doesn't help.

#7: That's a projector. I don't know about your technology, but my 123" screen (thanks to an Optoma DLP projector) can do full 1080p.
That's just sad. I dated a chick for some years and she too was kangarooing around. I ended it, cried about it, and six months later, a fling helped me get over it. I didn't sell all my stuff...in fact, I started buying more shit for myself (for a change). I win.

guate6,
it took you 6 months to go have a fling after finding out she cheated :(
next time, have that fling the weekend after it ends. preferably with her best friend.

Julian.....I think it would be better if the second functioning penis was on your chin.....Forehead just doesn't seem too practical.

Want to start over....put all that crap in your house and burn it to the ground...Fight Club style.

My question is "If you have have just been right royally screwed over, why pose with a 3' dildo?"

Yo man,..you have some balls to sell your entire life to the world. I think the most important thing I've ever sold was my lucky football gloves. But I feel you man. plate has been already shattered, but i'm sure it wouldn't hurt to grab another..
