    PERTH, 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.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.
    Bidding closed Sunday and reached $382,712 — an amount Usher said his house in the western city of Perth was worth on its own.



    "I guess I'm a little bit disappointed at the final price, I'd hoped it to be a little higher than that," Usher told Nine Network television on Monday. "But I am committed to selling and moving on and making a fresh start."
    He declined to reveal the buyer's identity, or what his next step would be.
    Usher said he had hoped to get at least $480,000 for his life — his house and all its contents, car and a motorcycle, a jet ski, skydiving gear, an introduction to friends and a trial period in his sales job — but that the final result was enough for him to make a new start in life.


    Thought this was kinda funny. Anyone else seen any really wacky sh*t for sale on Ebay? I saw a couple of people trying to sell their souls before, but that was about it. :pac:
