Man auctions off life on eBay after hard break-up
...and he didn't even get the selling price he was hoping for.
After a particularly hard divorce with his wife, Ian Usher, a British immigrant to Australia, auctioned off a package of his life in hopes of creating a new start for himself. In the package, he sold his house, everything in it (including a car, motorcycle, sky diving gear and jet ski), a trial at his sales job and an introduction to all of his friends.
By the end of the auction, the final bid was only $382,718, a total that Usher said his house was worth on it's own.
"I guess I'm a little bit disappointed at the final price, I'd hoped it to be a little higher than that," Usher told Nine Network television on Monday. "But I am committed to selling and moving on and making a fresh start."

So, what do you think? Do any of you have a break up story that even compares to wanting to start life completely over?
