This guy is selling his life on eBay!

This is crazy!

This guy in Australia is apparently just over his life, and has thus, decided to sell everything on eBay! If you buy it, you get his house, car, jet ski, two week trial run at his job, an introduction to his friends and his furniture and decorations!

I was just blown away. He explains everything at alife4sale.com.
The bidding has gotten up to 400,000 AU which is about 2.1 mil US! I wish mine was worth that much! haha!

Wow. I understand the grief, but I feel sorry for the friends and family he's not having a problem leaving behind. Maybe some therapy and medication would have been a good first step to help him deal.

well if HE is over his life, what makes him think his life is worth 400,000 AU?

His family is in England, he's not a native of Australia. He's lived in several other countries, too. I don't know - he seems pretty sane to me. He's doing something a lot healthier than people who sit around, whining about what's-her-name, and wondering why he got dumped.

Check out the house & his other toys. Not shabby - and the Australian dollar isn't as much as the American one. The more I look, the more I'm intrigued!

Check it out yourself: http://www.alife4sale.com/list_House_valuation.htm. I wish him well!

I don't want his old life, but I'll take the one after he gets the 2.1 million dollars!

I read his "why" page to say that his wife had died, not dumped him. If he'd gotten divorced, wouldn't she have already taken half his life with her? (or at least a sizable portion, I don't know Australia law)

It's funny how different people get different things out of the same "article". I read it as Laura left him. Unless, of course, she died of melanoma - but that's usually pretty long and drawn out.

If you click on the arrow for the pic that looks across the lounge and onto the kitchen, this is the description:

"This furniture comes from the house Laura and I owned before we separated. We had just finished building our first house when we boght these and we chose quality items."

I read an MSN article and it said that he caught her cheating on him, and thus the break up.

I don't know the more I think about it the more sense it makes. None of his family is there, and the friends he made, he made as part of a couple and the house and belongs are from the marriage too. Sounds like he just wants a clean break!
