I auctioned my life and all I got was $384,000
The man who put his life on ebay is disappointed it netted him only $384,000. He figures his house alone was worth that.
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.

This amused me to no end. This guy has been pimping himself out to every TV station, radio show and newspaper in the country for a while now, and, to be frank, comes across as a right wanker.
As we say here in Australia, sucked in mate!
