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.
