Hmmmmmmmmmm…. We’ll have to keep an eye on this.
A painful breakup with his wife has prompted a man to put his entire life — his house, his car, his job, even his friends — up for sale online in an effort to start over.
Ian Usher, a British immigrant to Australia, said Tuesday he would auction everything he owns and more on e-Bay starting June 22.
“On the day it’s all sold and settled, I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all,” Usher says on his Web site.
Up for bid is Usher’s three bedroom house in the western city of Perth and everything inside it, his car, motorcycle, jet ski and parachuting gear.
Usher says he is also selling a one-time introduction to his friends and a trial run at his job — a plan endorsed by his friends and his employer.
If successful, this is the sort of thing that could prove very damaging to my potential start-up, Fake Your Own Death L.L.C.
At FYOD, we say, “cheer up, you’ve got your whole death ahead of you”. But, this guy-Ian, seems to think he has a loophole, that he can avoid the whole faking death part and accomplish the same thing on the up and up.
He still has to find some chump, some pigeon that wants his old life.
Usher said his life will be sold in one lot, and that bidders should expect to pay more than $390,000, which is the upper end of a realtor’s valuation of his house that he has posted online.
If Ian’s life is so great, why would he want to chuck it in the first place? Hopefully, anyone walking around with 390grrrr in their pocket will have enough good sense to ask themselves that question.
I’ll tell you what, if anybody has that kind of dough and they are thinking of placing a bid for the sloppy seconds of this guy’s dreary existence, I would urge you instead to contact my associates at the Law Firm of E. Morel and B. Javier.
At FYOD, we can set you up with a new house, new friends, new job-the whole nine yards and possibly interest you in some intriguing stock options as well.
