    Man Selling Entire Life on eBay

    by Terrence O'Brien, posted Mar 20th 2008 at 6:11PM

     

    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.

    Sappho, we should discuss your question over a glass of wine.  You might inspire me to Intellectual Greatness!

    Sappho, everything that starts with "you gotta" is nonsense :p

    A plunger might help you get through the "you gotta." Instructions on how to use it: put it tightly to your head, plunge a few times until you can get through the "you gotta" and start reading the rest.Stick out tongue

    Which question?

    Sappho (the original sappho from 2,600 years ago) pretty much felt the same way about not giving a sh*t about the dead:

     Forever shalt thou lie dead, nor shall there be any remembrance of thee now or hereafter, for never has thou had any of the roses of Pieria; but thou shalt wander, eternally unregarded in the houses of Hades, flitting among the insubstantial shades.

    I suppose I should have posted this in the George Carlin post - but I figure last night I tempted 100 billion dead spirits to f*ck with me after saying they are all just 'dead', and yet I woke up after a nice night's sleep.  Yep, we humans are no better than  any other carbon-based critter on this planet. 

    To be relevant to this topic.....how do people sell their lives?  It's true!  Whomever sells their life for the most money wins!

    Sappho (the original sappho) had it right.  You have to work hard to differntiate yourself from 110 billion other people trying to be remembered.  hmmmm....?
