- Grantismo, on 06/29/2008, -2/+81Does he have a second life account?
- twodimman, on 06/29/2008, -1/+60Isn't it a bit sad that his definition of life equals to the listing of all his belongings?
- hgrave23, on 06/28/2008, -1/+57eBay Link here - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&i ...
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -2/+49Pickup only. Damn, I was going to have his life delivered.
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -2/+46attention whore.
- borez, on 06/29/2008, -1/+40Winning bid $399,300.00 Aus ( £200,000 UK $383,327.92 US ) and his ex will probably take most of that. I suppose it's a start.
Good luck mate. - mitch37, on 06/29/2008, -1/+33No girlfriend included, damn it.
- DickyT83, on 06/29/2008, -0/+18I'd take the 383k and start over elsewhere.
- Kiryuu, on 06/29/2008, -1/+18Why would someone want to buy his life?
- kevinwiz, on 06/29/2008, -0/+15are you speaking in.... tags?
- xkorbin, on 06/29/2008, -0/+14Someone else did this quite some time ago; I remember reading about it in Wired.
This HAS been done before. - inactive, on 06/29/2008, -2/+16he doesn't sell life you morons, just a house "and the guidance of friends for the first days you settle in".
just a stupid story for the media to waste their time. - inotocracy, on 06/29/2008, -3/+16Anyone else think $383k for his house and toys is just a tad cheap? Fail.
- Tcasey0478, on 06/29/2008, -0/+12This seems to be the trend lately.
- inotocracy, on 06/29/2008, -0/+11383,000.00 AUD = 367,862.46 USD, so its even less. Yeah, I'd say he lost a lot of money.
- jp12380, on 06/29/2008, -0/+11People will buy anything.
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -7/+17Because the brits are slower with numbers.
- plup, on 06/29/2008, -3/+12Keep telling yourself that. I hope it helps you just before taking the pills.
- Grimlock82, on 06/29/2008, -1/+10It was a 7 day eBay auction n00b. Think before you post.
- darkane, on 06/29/2008, -0/+9Why do the exact conversion to USD and round the GBP?
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -0/+9They were mostly fake bids. you had to register to bid, but Ebay messed up and anyone could bid on the first day and there were a bunch of kids ***** with the auction.
- expert01, on 06/29/2008, -0/+8I saw the auction earlier and could have sworn it was past one million.
- consoneo, on 06/29/2008, -0/+8"Don't forget, the starting price for my life is just AU$1.00!! With my house alone being valued at around AU$420,000.00, I would suggest getting a bid in early on!"
Someone got a steal. - LeviTheSmith, on 06/29/2008, -1/+9guy ebay selling life money new start over house belongings friends
- baller90210, on 06/29/2008, -2/+9this guy is brave as hell, what/where would you do/go the day you hand your "life" over to the new owner? this is insane...he had a pretty nice pad tho.
- ogbecker, on 06/29/2008, -0/+7.....a person who can afford a $400,000 bid on ebay will not want to work in a rug shop or as a truck driver.
- arjie, on 06/29/2008, -1/+7Yeah, but you get an ex-wife if you want.
- StabmasterArson, on 06/29/2008, -0/+6Is there a return policy?
- LeviTheSmith, on 06/29/2008, -0/+5because ebaying auctions scan for the it, didn't
- DulcetTone, on 06/29/2008, -4/+9It's an Australian life. The exchange rate to a real life is rather poor.
- Cody-Nolen, on 06/29/2008, -2/+6I should sell my life. I wonder how much my card board box house and dirty blanket will go for....
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -1/+5This is ridiculous.
- getmeawhopper, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4It depends how much all this stuff costs, does anyone know how much the house alone would go for in that area, it could be a bargain. Car looks *****, but jet ski is new enough.
- cran, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4Yes, but the urchins were too young to be on the internet when that happened, and they aren't interested in reading about the past, so we all get to re-live it.
- unexplainedmilk, on 06/30/2008, -0/+3He writes in the auction description (which you clearly didn't read) that his bosses were on board with the plan, and in fact find this very exciting. Again... if you had actually READ anything, you would know that they are agreeing to a 2 week probation period, expanded to 3 months, then to a full time position.
Do you know how I found out about that?... I read! Dumb ass. - cubs2234, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3yeah, and it seems like people will sell anything, too
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3lmfao
- Blandyman, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3Maybe they'll bury you because:
1 Week ago: The auction had just started for the guy selling his life.
Today: Guess what? The guy sold his life. - sexypeon, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3Apparently they do.
- Blandyman, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3Or you can read and see what it really is...
- aussieNickuss, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2That house would be $400k+. If he was closer to the city, it would be more than half a mil.
- CptCancer, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2yes
- Seafea, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2Don't mind him. He's just being edgy and in-your-face.
- dan0964, on 06/29/2008, -0/+2Check the bids, loads of canceled bids
- yuutokun, on 06/29/2008, -0/+2Nice. I don't English very good, please teacher me!
- Blandyman, on 06/29/2008, -0/+2Or, it sounds like a guy who wants money for his ***** and doesn't want to do it traditionally...
- digitalpencil, on 06/29/2008, -2/+4I always wondered if i could sell my soul on eBay.. obviously with the stipulation that I don't have to actually do anything for the winning bidder and that my identity (name, citzenship, job etc) are not included in the sale. Given I don't technically believe in the soul in any technical manner, there has to be some idiot out there who'd part with cash for my soul.
- ChillHomie, on 06/29/2008, -0/+2Gold farming
- inactive, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2....................
