Man Selling Entire Life on eBay
We've seen some interesting and unique eBay auctions in our day, but this one is certainly the most bizarre. Ian Usher, a resident of Perth, Australia is auctioning off his entire life. Following a messy divorce, the 44 year-old decided it was time for a fresh start. The prospect of selling off his possessions one-by-one seemed too daunting, so Usher packed up all of his possessions into one mega auction.

The highest bidder will receive Usher's completely furnished home, his car, motorcycle, jet ski, introductions to his friends, and even his salesman position at a local rug shop. Jenny Jones, Usher's employer, said she was willing to give the highest bidder a trial run at the shop as a favor to Usher who, she said, she regards as family.

At alifeforsale.com, Usher details his plans for the auction and sets the start date for June 22. A week later on June 29 a winner will have emerged and Perth will have its new Ian Usher. Meanwhile, Ian Usher will be free to go become who ever he wants.
