For months, we've been following the tale of
Ian Usher, an Australian man who decided to put all his worldly possessions online for sale. The auction, which
started a week ago, closed yesterday. Usher's life went for a rather
disappointing sum of just $380,286. That's less than his house alone was worth! Also included in the auction was his motorcycle, car, jet ski, and a whole cadre of friends.
So, someone got a pretty good bargain, and Usher has turned himself into a minor celebrity, a status he hopes to exploit via his new venture
100Goals100Weeks.com. We wish him luck, because time has shown that nothing's more fleeting than the popularity of an Internet celebrity. [Source:

How do you sell your friends? I don't get it. Do you make them promise to be friends with the buyer or what? Despite the fact that you're literally auctioning their friendship off for the highest bidder?
And, yeah, $380k. Ouch. Hopefully he gets a reality TV deal out of it, or something.
