    When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it was going to involve suicide. Geez, I'm sick.

    The auction ended...there were fake bids of AU$2.2 million but they were retracted 2 days ago. Final price was AU$399,300 and I think he lost money on it (that's if he goes through with it...LOL).

    Did someone mention suicide in this thread?

    Now, god forbid the buyer had a 99.9% feedback score and is buying a life, oh no. :rolleyes:

    I would have expected it to fetch more with these types of auctions.

    You've got to look on the bright side... at least he didn't kill himself :p

    I guess it's just another way to start over... a very weird way. I would have bought a Mustang, dyed my hair and pretended I was 10 years younger, which wouldn't have been any better than selling my life on eBay.

    The man's a poet... too much of a post-modernist for my liking though.

    Too low I guess. 1 million maybe be cool but $380K is not worth it. He can buy v7n.com and live a life on internet though:)

    Yeah, I heard it on Sunrise. Was pretty lame, I saw his house on the show and it was worth at least $500k if it was in Victoria or something. Looked like a dream vacation house to be honest.

    People will buy anything on ebay. That is really ridiculous. I should try to sell my life. Minus my house cause I like it.
