Australian man sells life on eBay

A man in Australia has decided to auction his life in Perth on Internet auction site eBay. He will auction his house, his job at a rug shop (there will be a two-month trial period), his clothes, his car, his jet ski and his friends as "a package."

Ian Usher, 44, made this decision after his marriage broke up. "It's time to move. A completely fresh start. I want to see where life takes me," he said.

Usher said his ex-wife had heard of his auction. "Her last comment was, 'it seems a bit mental to me,'" he said. (AP)
