A man sold his house and all of his belongings on Ebay. He is not the first on to do a thing like this. I guess his aim is to buy a new life, after his five year marriage ended. Would you ever consider doing anything this drastic? I know that I might if things were that bad. http://news.aol.com/story/_a/man-auctions-his-life-for-380000/20080630094409990001?icid=100214839x1204904872x1200228902

I thought that this was just a joke at first but I see there was a man that did auction himself of on ebay. At least he knows how much that he is worth. I guess that should be a good thing. I think it was on the news that he had ended his marriage and was getting rid of everything to start fresh. I wish him all the luck in the world.

I believe that if I were heart broken I would sell off everything and move away also.

There is nothing wrong with that and it seems that he will get a fresh start.

At first I thought this was going to be like that time when someone sold their soul on eBay for $10,000. Or maybe the time when a parent sold the chance to name their baby to the highest bidder (they got several thousand for that too, I think). My first and overall response, regardless, is: you really CAN sell anything on eBay.

I believe that this guy did what he did because he was heart broken and wanted the chance to start over fresh.

I had heard about that and I guess if that's what he needed to do then it's a good thing it all worked out for him. Personally I wouldn't do it.....I think you got to be pretty desperate to do something like that! LOL....

At first I thought that they were saying that he sold himself. But he sound his belongings. If I had come out of a divorce, I would want to sell everything and move on with my life also. As long as there were no kids involved. That changes everything.
