Guy Auctions Off Life, Selling Price Disappoints

(From MSNBC.com/The Associated Press)

A man who auctioned his life -- his house, his car, his job, even his friends -- on EBAY said 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.

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.
