When Ian Usher?s partner of 12 years left him broken-hearted, he decided the best way to move forward was to auction his whole life, in one job lot.

Since Sunday, June 22nd and for this whole week, Usher?s life is up for sale on eBay with the package including his $397,000 (around Rs 11, 116, 000) three-bedroom house in Perth, Western Australia, a trial for his job at a rug store, his car, motorbike, clothes and even friends.

Usher, 44, said he had been inundated with emails from all over the world since he put his life up for grabs in March, largely from people supporting him but also from those who were asking for advice on how to change their own lives. ?I was taken aback by how much interest there has been and by the amount of people it has inspired and had an impact on,? said Usher who is hoping to raise up to $500,000 to fund a new life. ?I?ve had emails from people saying they decided it was also time to sell their house and move on after suffering a loss.?

?I have had enough of my life?

Usher, who is from Britain but moved to Perth in 2001, set up a website for the sale. Critics have denounced the site as a gimmick to attract advertising revenue, but Usher says it has earned him very little and is real.

The site opens cheerily: ?Hi there, my name is Ian Usher, and I have had enough of my life! I don?t want it any more!? His decision followed the break-up of his five-year marriage and the end of a 12-year relationship with Laura. He has declined to give details of the break-up but Laura is now with someone else.
