Man Gives New Meaning to “Moving On” After Divorce

A man from Australia is attempting to auction off his life on eBay, saying that he just wants to “move on” after his eight-year marriage ended in divorce.

According to British newspaper, The Guardian, 44-year-old Ian Usher from Perth, Australia, decided that he would auction off everything in his life, including his car, home, jet ski, and friends, after the collapse of his marriage.

Usher said that the process was going much better than he’d expected. He said, “My life’s on a much more even keel now. I’m ready to move on.”

According to the newspaper, after the auction began on June 22, offers reached at least $1.7 million.

Usher quipped that even if the auction is unsuccessful, he will always be known as “the man who couldn’t sell his life on eBay.”
