Guy selling his life :\

[DarkShadow]

A friend just sent me this . .

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!

No, I'm not contemplating suicide, I am going to sell my life!! I have my reasons, for further details click the "Why" tab below. However, I am still not sure whether this is inspired madness, complete foolishness, or just some sort of mid-life crisis.

Whatever it is, it's all going up for sale in one big auction. Everything I have and everything I am. On the day it is all sold and settled I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all, and get on the train, with no idea where I am going or what the future holds for me.

[Steve2000]

No, you dont get him. You get everything he owns like his house and cars etc

He's not selling himself though, just his stuff really so it's not like the bay will find that much wrong with it...

Each bidder has to be pre-approved afaik.

Edit:

1). There is a registration process, bidding will only be allowed by pre-approved registered bidders. The reason for this is to try to avoid fake bids, and ensure that the auction reaches a successful conclusion, and only receives bids from serious bidders.

I am sure all genuine bidders will understand the need for a process such as this, and will see that it is mainly for the protection of serious bidders. It's a shame it has to be like this, but there are a few idiots out there who take pleasure in spoiling things for everybody else.

Even if he consented to it you still couldn't kill him. It's against the law.

 

[Biohazard]

his car is a heap of **** as well.

 

[KittensCake]

Why is he an idiot? It's his stuff, he can sell it. What's the problem?

Yeap heard about this before a lot.

The website's a good Sunday evening read before the footy starts. Though, just a question - what happened to his wife/family?

 

[Aod]

Hmmmm, £864,000 eh?

left him I thought, it didn't come across as death.

So if you are buying his life, you would only have to pay yourself for the goods. So in effect they are all free.
