Man auctions his life in Australia


SYDNEY (Reuters) -
A man in AustraliaeBay, after his marriage broke up, saying he wants to start a
new life.


"It's time to move. A completely fresh start. I want to see
where life takes me," Ian Usher, 44, told Australian television
on Tuesday from Perth in Western Australia state.


Usher said he was auctioning his life as "a package" with
his house in Perth valued at around A$420,000 ($385,000).


"Hi there, my name is Ian Usher, and I have had enough of
my life! I don't want it any more! You can have it if you
like!," reads his Web site www.alife4sale, which has a link
to eBay for bidders.


Usher said his life auction, which starts on June 22,
included not only his house, a car, a motorbike, a jet ski and
a spa, but also an introduction to "great friends" and a job at
a rug shop in Perth for a trial two-week period.


"When it's over, I will just walk out the front door, take
my wallet, my passport and start a new life," 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.
