As seen on the the BBC Website today - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7467857.stm

An ex-pat who decided to make a clean break after splitting with his wife has so far attracted 70 bids for his "entire life".

Ian Usher, from Darlington, who emigrated to Australia six years ago, is selling his house, friends and job on internet auction site eBay.

The 44-year-old said he hoped to earn about £185,000 for his Perth lifestyle.

About five hours after bidding opened on Sunday, the highest offer was just over £314,000.

Up for auction is his three-bedroom home in the western Australian city and everything inside it, including his car, motorcycle, jet ski and parachuting gear.


Link to auction here -250255442325 - Currently over $2m AUD, but many of these will be false though.

Before the hidden bidders came in, many people with links on their "About Me" page would bid just to get exposure!
