[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 527161, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//images/ebay-logo-200-200.jpg[/IMG] When Ian Usher, 44, from Canberra, Australia, split up from his wife, he decided a change was in order. To fund that change he put his life on eBay. For a sum of money, anybody could have bid for Usher's 'life', which included his A$420,000 (£200,00) three-bedroom house in Perth, Western Australia, a trial for his job at a carpet shop, his car, motorbike, clothes and his mates. But then things got a bit silly. Well, even sillier than putting your life up for sale: the price to be Ian Usher rose to A$2.2 million (£980,000). [B]The price of life[/B] A statement on his website back ([url]www.alife4sale.com[/url]) back in March confirmed that Usher was not happy that people weren't taking the auction seriously, announcing: "Apologies to all, but I guess there are a lot of bored idiots out there. "Anyway after a long day on the computer, I have decided to pull all bids back as far as the first registered bidder, and the price is back to A$155,000 (£75,000) as I write this ... we are back in the land of common sense and reality, so it's over to you." Currently, the bid for his life is up to A£300,100 (£145,000) - which is pretty good, considering his house is worth £200,000. Bidding ends Saturday 29 June, so if you have the money and fancy a new life, then the life of Usher could be yours.
