Perth (Australia) – Ian Usher, the infamous Perth man who is trying to sell his life on eBay, is having trouble with people placing false bids.  After the week-long auction started last Sunday, bidding immediately exceeded $620,000, but Usher deleted several bids after he discovered they were made in bad faith.  Usher had planned on raising between $450,000 to $500,000, but now he admits that he’s “beyond worried at this point”.

We wrote about Usher just a few days ago.  After a bitter separation from his partner, he decided to sell all of his worldly possessions including his house, vehicles and even his entertainment system.  Usher also promises to introduce the winner to his friends and to top it all off offer a two-week stint at the local rug store (something which could turn into a full-time job if the owners approve).  Usher says he’s placed a very reasonable reserve price on the eBay auction, but declines to be specific about the amount.


Usher deleted several of those bids and the price currently stands at just over $300,000 which is not even enough to pay for the $400,000 house, let alone all the possessions inside.  Despite the difficulties, he says he’ll continue with the auction, but ominously adds, “I’m beyond worried at this point.”

Thats because...

It's a stupid idea. Why don't you sell your $400,000 house, put all your possessions up on craigslist and make your $100,000 to get your $500,000 to go travel the world the correct way. If you don't want your life, what makes you think I want your life.

Poor baby... has an immature tizzy fit coz his girlfriend dumped him... has a cry... runs from his problems and in some delusional aberration, decides hes going to run from his problems, infact his whole life. Wow... everybody look at the attention seeker. Watch him cry when his immature methods of dealing with things dont work out all peachy... I agree wth the above poster... sell your house via a realestate agent. craiglist all your other possessions. theres your $500,000... do your thing.
