SELLING HIS LIFE ON EBAY! UPDATE!

UPDATE! The auction closed yesterday and Ian sold his entire life for just over $380,000 (about $120,000 less than he had hoped for)

You know the copycats would start right after this auction....here's the next one....it's from 42-year-old Deven Trabosh of Palm Beach Gardens, FL and includes her 4 bedroom home and her hand in marriage!

Back in 2001, Ian Usher moved from Britain to Perth, Australia after marrying his girlfriend Laura. But everything went to crap last year when Laura dumped Ian after 12 years together . . . and found some other guy.

So poor Ian was stuck in the brand new house that the couple had built, surrounded by pictures of Laura and the stuff they had bought together.

Then one day Ian decided to stop moping and came up with a plan to ditch the reminders of Laura and start a new life. So he put his old life up for sale on eBay.

You heard that right . . . Ian is selling his entire life on eBay. His house, his belongings, and everything else from his old life, including:

A house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms . . . including all the furniture, a spa, a home entertainment system, and a computer . . .

A 1989 Mazda 929 . . . a motorcycle . . . a jet ski . . . and a bicycle . . .all his camping, sky-diving, and camera equipment . . .and his friends. Yes . . . Ian's selling a meet-and-greet with 8 of his closest friends where you'll have the chance to take Ian's place.

And finally . . . Ian's selling his job. You get a two-week trial at Ian's old job at a rug store where he holds the coveted title of store assistant. The duties include lifting rugs and fetching coffee.

Ian says that after the winning bidder shells out the money to take over his old life, he'll walk out of his house with nothing but the money and a passport, take the first flight that's available . . . and travel the world to find a new life.

The last time we checked, the bid for Ian's life on eBay was up to $2.2 MILLION.
