SYDNEY, Australia — A man who auctioned his life — his house, his car, his job, even his friends — on eBay said Monday he is disappointed with the selling price: almost $384,000.

I too was disappointed when I auctioned my entire life for $17.50 while back, but what are you gonna do? :roll:

Ian Usher, a British immigrant to Australia, put everything he owned as well as introductions to his friends on the online auction site after a painful breakup with his wife prompted him to want a fresh start.

This was apparently going on back in March -- found this article: http://www.reuters.com/article/internet ... 9020080318

Love this part:

"When it's over, I will just walk out the front door, take my wallet, my passport and start a new life," he said.

Usher said his ex-wife had heard of his auction.

"Her last comment was, 'it seems a bit mental to me'," he said.
