Selling a life(style) at ebay

    A man is auctioning all his belongings and even friends and job with great success.

    After his divorce he decided to sell everything. His employers agreed to give the highest bidder a chance.

    He just wants to walk out with his purse and passport.

    Funny and entertaining to be followed here

    It's one of the smartest action I've ever seen. Even if he doesn't sell or something goes wrong with the auction he's so much traffic that he can earn that amount a couple of times in a jiffy just by gettng the registration commissions from eBay..

    He's on every imaginable media like BBC, Reuters, Yahoo News, Der Spiegel in other words everywhere. Japanese TV crews too.

    over 3300 post in his guest book, his blog and bulletin board. Well organized. I personally think that he was planning this for quite a long time.

    His eBay name is quite old and not just added recently. He's a member since 2001 and likely with the same user name. I don't think you can change that in eBay account.

    Anyway, a smart marketing move

    Looks like some bidders have been stripped out by the seller.

    The auction is only showing 21 bids now, with winning bid currently at $245,100 Australian. (About $233,000 USD)

    Good luck to him. I wish I would get that jet ski and sports bike :D. And the house looks cool too. He has some sporty soul.
    Well, I bet, whoever takes it, won't regret it.

    AU $399,300.00 the latest standing. Last day is Sunday.
    Wow, looks like some bidders got out of the deal. The standing was over 2.1 million. Guess people backed off when they did more search on that matter.
