Five Wicked and Very Expensive Items (and Other “Stuff”) Sold on eBay

Ian Usher’s Entire Life (for Real!)

Sold for: $309,292

This one requires a story: Ian Usher, a British salesman and skydiver living in Perth, Australia, was left by his wife in 2006. Facing a midlife crisis, he decided to put his “life” up for sale on eBay in 2008. The offer included his three-bedroom house in Perth, an old Mazda, parachuting gear, a motorbike, a jet-ski, personal introductions to his friends, and his job (actually, a trial position as a sales assistant at the rug shop where he worked).
A few years later, Mr. Usher told Britain’s Daily Mail that he had bought an island in the Caribbean (Panama, to be accurate) and fallen in love with a Canadian woman, but not before traveling around the globe. His journey started in Dubai; ever since, he has run with bulls, dived with great white sharks and even joined the Mile High Club (you might want to do a little research on this club, it might surprise you).
