A Man Selling Off His Life And Everything He Owns On eBay

zA man who put his life up for auction on eBay found it wasn't worth quite as much as he thought when he settled for around A$100,000 ($96,000) less than his target price. Ian Usher, 44, held the seven-day auction of all his belongings,including his three-bedroom home in the west Australian city of Perth and a trial for his job at a rug store,after the break-up of his five-year marriage.

Bids had reached as high as A$2.2 million,only for Usher to discover there had been a glitch on eBay's system which allowed the participation of non-registered bidders who had put in bogus offers.

In the end,the winning bidder agreed to pay A$399,300 ($380,286) for all of Usher's worldly goods,which also include his friends,a motorcycle and a jetski.According to the eBay website,the mystery buyer,whose user name is "mslmcc,"is in Australia and has a 100 percent feedback score.

Usher,who gave regular updates on the auction on his Web site www.alife4sale.com,now plans to travel in search of a new life.
